You wont see any gains from removing the belt. The A/C has a clutch that allows the pully to spin free when not turned on. You could remove the entire system and save alot of weight and make alot of working room under the hood.

True. If you only knew how much easier it would be to work without ac. Spark plugs would be changed in 15 minutes tops. If you don't ever use it. Take it out. It weighs a lot. I thought about it at one time, but I use it too much here in Florida.
