Gain? No you lose ac...

Seriously though, you will lose weight, obviously, and free up some power. The engine will rev slightly faster.

Nothing that makes it worth chucking your a/c. Just my opinion.

It really helps clean up the pass side removing the lines, makes accessing headers & plugs a lot easier. It drops a good amount of weight too.

I don't miss the a/c, that's what I got t-tops for

You will gain space and lose weight. You aren't going to gain power. When the AC clutch is disengaged, the AC pulley spins just as freely as the delete pulley will.

Everyone knows you shouldn't drive a LT1 in the rain anyway.

I don't use my AC here in Texas, lol.

T-tops off everyday, black leather interior.

Oh yeah, its because my AC doesn't work, lol...just blows hot air.
I'm thinking about removing it instead of fixing it lol.
