Question Air Con Rem

Hi across the pond,
Has anybody out there removed the whole air con from a 99 etc z28?
We dont need it in UK and it only drains power & adds front end weight.
Will it throw up any DTC codes etc
Any advice will be welcome
Thanks

are u talking about AIR? it's the hose from ur air lid to the two metal hoses leading to ur manifolds. if this is what ur talking about, then u'll need some block off plates for the manifold and just tear it all out. i think on 01 and 02 there's a vacuum that needs to be plugged at the collection part where the two metal hoses join together. you can then remove ur AIR pump located below the driver's side headlight. u WILL throw a code if u do this, however, it wont affect the car any. an SES light will come on, but u can do like i do and ignore it! i hope that's what ur talking about and let me know if u have any questions. enjoy.
