A/C might be something you take for granted now, in the middle of winter, but don't forget about how uncomfortable it can be with out it in the summer.

I miss mine in the summer. Down here in the FL swamp, it rains every afternoon in the summer. Basically makes the car undriveable during the day.

While I rarely use my AC, I like knowing I still have the luxury. It's not worth the weight saving to me on a Procharged street car.

Not a whole lot of people keep the AC with a turbo setup and that is one of the things I really want to try and keep.

If you want to follow my build, by all means check it out. I'm about an hour or so from you so maybe I'll see you at some car shows come spring.

Yea i'm really hoping to attend some shows this year but more into the cruises so we will see what happens.

I've decided to keep the AC in the car and see if i really need it this summer. If i never use it by fall, that may be when it will go. I guess it depends more so on how many of my passengers request it being turned on more than myself. Thanks for all the insight guys!
