True, I can't imagine not having A/C in Austin.

Re: Why not remove the A/C?
After i removed mine i lose some sec & mile's in 1/4, 
Yes. it doesn't hurt anything to keep it in, but if delete it you'll lose some mile's at 1/4 and up.

Re: Why not remove the A/C? I won't be removing the A/C. It's easy enough just to pop off the belt for track duty.
With no EGR, manual rack, relocated coils, and tubular k-member/arms, engine bay almost looks empty. (see link in sig for pics)
I dropped an AIR tube bolt the other day while trial fitting my EGT probe. I'll be danged, it actually hit the ground! (no crossmember to fall in to...)

...Plus, I can't hear her complain over the sound of the true dual exhaust Rip it out...it makes working in the engine bay much easier.

Re: Why not remove the A/C? I just removed mine. It was a 32 1/2 pound weight savings including everything to the firewall.
My car is a track only car but I do have to drive out. In the summer it's a little warm driving out but I'm at the track all evening without ac anyway so what's a little longer.
I had planned to keep mine but having changed my cam twice the line from the evaporator to the firewall fatigued and started leaking. This line was $104 at the parts store plus re-charging to get it back going. Not worth it for a track car.

Re: Why not remove the A/C? Alright the A/C comes out. I saw the comp cam yesterday, lift was about .650 with 1.85 rockers. Thinking about an electric water pump but Lamar is not crazy about that. Saw the underdrive pully. Those .090 heads have some strange features. The fun starts next week.
