Anything associated with a/c to completely remove it. I still want heat though.

I think I'd like to rip it all out, heat,A/C and anything associated with them that can be removed to lose a few extra pounds. I'm surprised there isn't a write-up on this yet, maybe I'll be the first. Guessing will make for a long crappy write-up though, lol.

I'd keep the heat for two reasons:
1. If the car overheats slightly, a big IF (my buddy has a Stage 2 455 buick that loves to keep the heat on in the summer LOL)
2. For those cold test/tune nights at the track or cruising

I took my a/c lines and compressor out. it was pretty heavy. theres two lines i believe that connect to the condenser and you take those out then you can unbolt the compressor. I also had a question if theres no a/c could you take the condenser out to lose a few pounds?

11SECSS, it looks lie you have accomplished what everyone has been asking about. Would you mind giving some of the details as to how you did this?
