in most cases.

YES

I have A/C on my '76 1300 and was wondering if there are any special issues to
removing it.

IF YOU STILL HAVE THE LONG WATER PUMP WITH THE PULLEY ON THE LEFT, YOU CAN REPLACE IT WITH THE NON-AIR ASSEMBLY, BUT YOU NEED THE HOUSING AND THE LONG WATER TUBE FROM A NON-AIR CAR.

Also, I'm told that A/C is fairly rare on 1300's. The center console is a little different than
on non-A/C cars. Should the A/C be saved?

ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO SAVE THE PARTS.

Also, will the fan still work with A/C removed?

YES, IF YOU LEAVE THE CENTER CONSOLE AND WHAT'S BEHIND THERE ALONE.

It seems to
me that the fan is part of the air con. controls. If anyone has experience with this, let me know.

I DID IT ON A '77. I LEFT THE A/C TYPE CENTER CONSOLE IN PLACE AND DIDN'T REMOVE THE EVAPORATOR.

I also
plan to replace my timing belt in the near future, and I hear that the process is different for A/C cars.

FOR 1300s IT'S THE SAME.

I WOULD REMOVE THE COMPRESSOR, THE DRYER AND HOSES IN THE FRONT TRUNK, THE CONDENSOR IN FRONT OF THE RADIATOR AND LEAVE THE CENTER CONSOLE AND WHAT'S BEHIND IT ALONE.
