To AC or not to AC, that is the question.

Did you miss not having a/c in any of those rides? I know some people who can live without a/c in a car in the summer......but NOT me!!
There are too many cars going really fast with clean kits that keep a/c. I know its so easy to just rip it out and call it a day. But personally i think a really fast car with all its features is really cool. Anyone can just gut away.
The words of a wise man. The very reason I am not pulling the M6 out of my car

I am struggling with a couple of issues and would like other opinions. This is a first for me because I typcally don't worry much about such issues. I usually just forge ahead with the idea in my head but find myself in a quandery here for the first time. I am wondering whether or not to run accessories such as AC and power steering or ditch them in favor of a flaming river manual rack and just sweating during the sweltering summer months here in the deep South. I am also struggling over the issue of installing either the TH400/ATI convertor combo that I have or a 4L80E (Already have.) and a Vigilante multi-disk lockup. Never thought I struggling over such issues. Any and all relative opinions are welcome and thank you in advance.

also you can run your pipes under the k member, will limit ground clearance but not a terrible option if you're at stock height and don't do much bump-stop/pot-hole driving. and if you don't want to do that I've heard of many going with the tubular k member and running the pipes through them. THIS IS, if you had a custom kit made.
I am thinking about getting a BMR or some sort turbo K member and thinking about taking it to a friend who does alot of fab work and let him go at it. I am going to keep the AC because it is too important to me.
