Exclamation Evaporator

In the upper left corner of my engine compartment there is a big black thing that says evaporator on it. If i dont have the ac anymore do i need this?

You don't need the evaporator that is in the box if you never intend to have a/c, but you might want the heater core that is inside that same box come cold weather if you want a heater! During disassembly, the evaporator comes out of the box before you get to the heater core.

No, the condenser mount's in front of the radiator and resembles a small radiator. You were probably thinking of the compressor?
