they say its not good to have the ac on when in the stagin lanes, because when you go to pull up to the tree, your condenser drips **** all over the place, makin for more inadequate traction.

Keep the A/C, you'll regret it when you're hot. I can't see buying a new car with A/C and then removing it, especially if I DD it.

I'd keep it, I plan on keeping mine and still make sick power. I thought about getting rid of it, it owuld make everything a lot easier, but who does things the easy way? Its my only car too, even though I never have it on during the summer, I love to have the windows down all season long, I still wouldn't get rid of it incase I sell it.

Get rid of the AC, it's a vette, which is a sports car, not a Caddy.
