Default A/C sysem weight??

So I think I am going to remove my A/C system. My compressor is making a horrible grinding noise when the motor is running and a new one from even autozone is $300. I don't really want to spend $300 on a new compressor. I have another vehicle that has A/C so on those super hott days in the summer if its too much I will just drive that. If I remove the A/C I can get rid of the compressor, condenser, evaporator and overall that will all clean up the engine bay quite a bit, not to mention the car will lose some weight. My question is does anybody know how much all the A/C system components weigh?

I got rid of every thing, the engine bay was alot cleaner untill the blower lol. But it was alot easier to work on the pass side and when pulling the radiator you dont have to worry about the one for the a/c. I would say every thing weighed 30#'s

Check the drag racing forum, they have a weight reduction list.
