I'm in the middle of doing the timing belt on my dad's 89 Accord (LXi, 4dr auto). I'm also removing the rest of the AC, it was in a minor front ender a while ago that broke the condenser, and he just removed it and doesn't care about AC, it's mostly a winter car. Anyway so I noticed he has a lot of... extra stuff. I was going to remove the charcoal canister, but there is another mini canister on the side of it, does anyone know what this is? Also right now I only have the top T belt cover off, but the belt is covered in nasty grimy sticky stuff, like oil and tar mixed. What seal would cause this, the upper one on the cam? The bracket for the AC seems to share the bracket with the PS pump, do I have to take the whole thing off to get the AC compressor out? Is there anything else I should remove to make future maintenance easier, stuff that doesn't matter or whatever? The car has about 250k on it, and it's had a hard life.
