So I was messing around with the car today(still not running) and that AC compressor and lines was kind of bugging me. 391 LS2 T88(T4 flange) phamspeed tubular kit modded. Should I trash the ac? How much does all of it weigh? I'm not too concerned about weight because I weight in prolly about 3700-3800 anyways. The car is a street car. Will be driven on the street a good bit. TH400 w/ all the good stuff goin in soon. I'm not a big ac user anyways, but don't mind having it on the really hot days or if a girl is riding with me. What should I do? Winter is coming soon anyways. How hard is it to take out? Just want to know what you guys would do.

Im in the same boat as you, I think I used the a/c twice this year but am moving down to Atlanta in a few months and I know I will use it a lot then. I say if you rarely use it and have another car with a/c to drive ditch it. I figure if its hot enough outisde that I need the a/c I probably dont want to be drving my turboed car much b/c the iat's will be high.

IMHO if you have the option to keep AC, why wouldn't you? If a strip only car I could understand. If it is a street car, unless you live in Alaska definately keep it. The weight isn't really enough reason for a street car. Alot of people specifically look for a kit that keeps it. All it's gonna take is one hot summer with your girl in the car dressed up and going somewhere nice and you will regret it. Again it's just my opinion.

it gets hot down south here.ive got ac on the turbo 383 and its very nice on a hot day stuck in traffic to be able to roll up the windows,have the limo tint block out the sun,and crank up the AC to freeze things inside the cabin

I would keep it, but that's just me. That is a good question though, I'd also like to know how much it all weighs.

Trash it and plug in a 12v fan in the cigarette lighter hole.

I have A/C in my truck, don't think I've used it once this summer. I'm in NY and we even have some hot days, I just deal with it.

Yea.. I live in SC... and it gets hot.. But the HUMIDIDTY is what's the killer.. ANyone on how much it weighs? The turbo system is in and keeps the ac, but it's just buggin me. I could free up some good room.

KP had a thread about A.C. and it got quite heated (one of the more enjoyable threads in awhile). It just comes down to your personal preference.

You would melt and stick to your seats if you didn't have a/c down here.
