Doesn't the A/C compressor run when the defroster is on?

Yes it does but they had defrost on cars w/o ac in the old days & it still worked, the compressor just helps dry the air. My defrost still works great in my car but I live in a relatively dry climate.

ok I removed it but what do I do about the 2 holes on the black box where the 2 bolts would go for the a/c? So now I will only need one belt right? My motors not in my car so I am not sure?

Anyone have an idea how much weight can be saved by removing the a/c?
