It's more like 1.5 to 3 and .2 to .3 in the 1/4 if all sealed up properly. Not to mention close to 30 lbs.

I'm leaving the A/C off of my S10 project. It will have the old 2 down at 70 A/C system. It wont be driven that much anyway on the street. I have new trucks for that purpose.

Whats the easiest way to delete the AC enough to use the non-ac version o the Chris3113 ram air? I don't want to mess with the firewall, just clean up the engine bay a bit and get the best ram air option. I also need to keep heat. Just rip out all the AC stuff plug the lines but keep the heater lines? I dont need a dummy pully for this or anything do I?

Pulled mine only because
1. The compressor was toast
2. It is not a DD

Im in the middle. The compressor was loud as chit when I bought the car so I cut the belt off. Here in MA it doesn't get all that hot, but its nice to have on those really hot days. Most of the time I just take the tops off and cruise that way.

I have a spare compressor off an lq4. Can I just replace the clutch assembly with the one off the truck or do I have to replace the whole compressor? I'd rather not open the whole system.
