What I will say is that whatever you do, make sure your going to be happy with the results.
Gutting a car makes it lighter, you really dont spend $$$, and you go faster but on those HOT *** days, that A/C is quite nice, isnt it??

A/c is for the weak, think of removing the a/c like a free sauna, helps reduce car weight, and sweat the weight off the driver 
Heat delete too, makes ya think twice about taking the car out when it's too cold to hook anyway

what is this A/C you speak of?
It only gets worse when you find a new daily driver. You have to have a really nice wife to spend money on a car that only runs a few months a year. She will never understand...even if the parts were made by Prada or Burberry.
It's a delicious box of goodness thats sort of like a hot girlfriend, but you can at least turn her off when not needed. 
I just use A/C as an example, coming from a guy who had a Black, Hardtop 94 z28 driving in 100 degree heat to the track and almost passing out. For anyone, find out what you consider acceptible to live with out.

BS machine I am taking the A/C compressor belt off your car next time I am near it 
Next time you are near your car, I want you to pull the fuses for the heater.
If you can go the summer witout the heater and the a/c, this fall when you've got the shocks and the TRZ bar on the car, and have your rims and tires on the car before you go to atco I'm yanking the hvac out of your car and the front bumper support too and am gonna rig your foglights up like I had mine (still have the little brackets, and the tab I used to hold the nose up)
Then you will see an 11 second pass out of it, and you will be all done worrying about the heater and a/c
Hell your back seat never made it back in. You get your diet plan working enough so that my other 17 inch seat will work for you I'll GIVE it to you if ya get the car fast enough to need a rollbar... and ya put one in.

On a side note, yea, we got some work to do.
You try to deny me, and I'll sneak over to Wanda's house and get in the garage and buck knife that a/c belt right off right there in the garage, and I'll leave it under the wipers for ya
Careful or I'll have your wipers out too while I'm there.

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
That crazy old bag would probably hand you the tools!! Also some little Debbie cake snacks!
yep same happened to me but its going to be well worth it. the forced induction section did this to me aswell. i went from building a low 10 high 9 second street strip car to a 7.50 certified 25.5 car with a turbocharged BBC
good thing its winter around here and the track is closed. gives me time to think things out. right now im thinking !abs, bmr x treme sway bar, new springs/shocks.
i just bought the kyb adjustables and its looking like the'll be getting swapped out for a drag setup. you'll probably see them in the for sale section soon lol.

yeah its definately a good thing that they arent open around here year round. if they were id be so screwed. im building the car to handle way more then im throwing at it but im sure somethings bound to break eventually.

Drag Racing, because golf, basketball, baseball and bowling only need one ball!
Been at this for 17 years driving and another 8 crewing, and I'm thankful to have two cars. Otherwise the Firebird would be MUCH faster and I'd be that much poorer.
