Removing A/C from a 730 vehicle

[Dan Townsend]

Since removing my A/C and I run the 730 now I notice the drivers side fan
turns on after the car heats up or at least it did.  :-)  I'll check in a
bit after I get the ZIF socket installed in the "Prom" and head to the track
:-)  Thanks for your prom burning page on thirdgen and to the other list
members who might have helped.
