i know this is one of those "every little bit counts" modifications, but im not sure if i want to get rid of mine or not.

just asking who !AC and who did not touch it (and uses it). i clipped the belt a while ago when the weather was getting cold (probably did nothing but who knows- more parasitic drag= less hp). now i may just completly remove it for the weight savings off of the front of the vehicle, not to mention more flow to the rad.

opinions please. i honestly only would probably use it MAYBE 5 times this whole summer- t tops do the trick unless it is over like 90* out, which would be a bad time to drive the car anyway (kr, and transmission temps).

this is completly a street car also, daily driver/ weekend racer (every weekend) when the weather is nice.

If I lived where you do I would ditch it.

i !a/c, !air, !egr. makes for a hell of a cleaner engine bay and the weight savings is nice. plus it opens up a spot for dry sumping in the future if you so choose.

Dude, Philly gets hotter than FL sometimes. Maybe not right now.....but sometimes during the summer.

I did all of the above and it's great to see the engine and be without the weight. Too bad I'm moving to Arizona and will have to put the AC back on.

I still have mine. I don't use it for myself normally. Only if passengers need it. I try to turn it on at least once a month in the summer to make sure it still works.

I'd leave it in.

If the time ever comes to sell it, I wouldn't be surprised if you lose potential buyers as soon as they see you removed/butchered the A/C system. Personally, I wouldn't buy a car without A/C.

And if you do decide to keep it forever, you may regret your decision when you get older.......I do. I took the A/C out of my '78 Z28 when I was 18 (almost 20 years ago). I didn't have the car for more than 6 months when the A/C went out. Instead of getting it fixed, I decided remove it for a lot of the same reasons as above. And I've regretted it since I was about 25. At least I had enough sense to keep all the components and brackets all these years. When I get around to restoring my '78 Z finally, the A/C WILL be in.

Just my opinion though.

Ponies shmonies...that's front-end weight. Toss that junk! (I will be keeping mine of course...)

My AC isn't going anywhere. I really like having it in bumper to bumper rush hour traffic on a hot summer day.

it aint that bad out here, i'd never once used my a/c prior to removal. i've also got black car with ebony interior.

Another_User

To be totally honest though, if my compressor ever breaks, all that crap is coming out. I won't be spending money to fix extra weight. As long as it works, it stays.

I use it constantly during summer, specially when the ol' lady is in the car.
Sometimes I have to go work to Palm Springs in the middle of summer or places with temperatures above 110, screw that, AC is staying on.
I have been to SD several times though, and it does seem to be cooler over there.
