A/C Removal question...

I know this has been beat to death and I've searched every thread, but here goes. I'm going to pull my A/C but I have a question. On the line that connects to the top of the condenser, towards the back of the line is a wire that plugs directly into the line. What is it and what do I do with it once the line is out?

I just pulled mine out, and I disconnected everything that had to do with it.
Dont worry.

Pressure switch. As long as you're not using the AC, just tie the wire up out of the way.

I plan on removing AC this winter, and getting rid of the AIR and EGR stuff and I am in Chicago with Emissions. Luckly all they do here is check for engine codes, so when I do this I'll have AIR and EGR disabled in the ECU

Yea, that sucks. I've had !EGR/AIR/AC for a while now. Huge difference in the engine bay.
