I have removed the ac compressor and all related pieces.
There is a box that was behind the fan that I am assuming was the waste water tank for the original bus toilet. There are 2 T handles and 2 quick connectors in the small compartment just forward of the ac compartment. Am I correct in assuming that this was part of the original toilet?
No pics yet but I am working on it!
My bus did not have a restroom , so I do not have first hand experience. However, I went to my maintenance manual and the attached PDF looks like what you described. It is called a restroom service panel.

Thanks Jim, that is what my panel looks like.
I have pics down loading to my computer and will try to get them to photo bucket.
I am a computer idiot but I am trying.
Wes, there is no need to use Photobucket. Simply click on the "upload attachment" at the bottom of the reply. You can upload any size photo from your computer. Each post can have four photos.

I got all the bus heat and air out and all the water hoses capped off from the engine, only thing left is 2 3/4'' hoses that go to the front of the bus. I am assuming the are for the driver heat and defrost.
I tried to down load some pictures today and got some kind of malware thing popping up on my computer!!!
I have found a few area in my rust free bus that are rusted out. Not real bad or hard to fix but I don't know how I missed them, oh well, life goes on.

Those 2 3/4" hoses also go to the coach heaters. In my 10 the heat exchangers were to the left and right of the fuel tank just inside the bogie wheels. I removed them and put my gray water tanks in each side. I left one of the two 12v heater pumps and used it and the hoses to the front for driver heat and defrost. It's been flawless for 17 years now.
Wow, you are bringing back memories of how much work all my conversion was. Good luck with yours.
Most do remove both the heat and AC. The AC components will be old and often create problems. Trying to keep the system charged and working can be a real challenge and costly. The system has ducts that protrude into the bus at the floor and that presents a bit of a challenge to the conversion.
If the bus is converted to an RV, the over-the-road AC will not see as much use as the seated bus or an entertainer coach that is on the road a bunch.
Many of us have installed a good aftermarket dash air that will keep us comfortable most of the time. On hot days we close off the back half of the bus and Dash air does a pretty good job. If we are heading west in the afternoon, we can start the generator and run the house AC.
For sure, the bus AC, if working, will keep you very cool.

Thanks beltguy.
My MC9 still had the coach heat which also did the front defrost, is the SE system similar?
Any place where I can download cooling system schematics, electrical diagrams, etc?
