I would like to know also my ac smells when I turn it on, when did they stop installing them?

No it doesn't. They stopped putting them in in 2002.

As stated above, GM stopped the cabin filters in 2002.

The smell coming from the A/C is something entirely different. That is usually caused by excess moisture in the HVAC ducting causing mildew growth.

You can get a retrofit kit from member/limited vendor TheBac. Check out the vendor section of the forum for details.

I recommend it!

on edit: speak of the Devil, there he is...;) :)

I no longer sell the kits thru the site, Tom. But thanks for the plug.

Pass side under the glovebox. Lower the black plastic cover (dont remove it) and you'll see an "L" shaped cover. Look toward the back of the cover for a silver screw. Remove that, and tilt the cover towrd you to remove. The filters pull down and out.

NAPA filters work well. IIRC, Bosch sells a charcoal filter.
