Default Contemplating a/c delete

I haven't really seen a good write up on a/c delete ever.

But at the same time it doesnt seem straight forward. Ive heard that you have to pull the engine to get it all out.

My a/c cracked a pipe and never worked right after even when vacuumed and filled. Im gonna try again this summer but if not, im taking it out.

I noticed that when i put in my stroker, it makes more heat and gets my interior hotter as well. When i put my a/c fans on, will it still blow relatively cool air in the interior or will that be gone as well?

How much weight am I looking at losing?

Any one want to put any input on whether or not I should delete it or not?

I did this earlier this year, the unit in the dash was really not that heavy, I did mine with the engine out, I could not imagine how much of a pita it would be with the engine in. Heres a link to when I did mine, hope this helps

LS1s have a dedicated A/C belt, so just pull the compressor, idler and belt and your done.
