My question is do anybody have and Lt1 in the 10's with a/c, all the picture I see of you guys motors have the a/c deleted. I live in Louisiana and with this 105 degree weather we have kinda want to takes some sunday drive with the a/c blowing snow flakes and still go to the track and run 10's. I am about through with my Lt1 396 with dart heads and ported intaked by LE. let me know if this is possible

Sure it's possible. There's nothing keeping you from running it, aside from the potential reduction of airflow across the radiator or needed engine bay space. It's just another belt-driven accessory. If my condenser hadn't popped a leak I would have kept it on my car no problem.

Well, not tens but an 11.2 with the A/C. I hate to sweat. You stink, you're wet, you feel sticky. Sweating is for people who lived before me. I'm an American living in the year 2011. I have no reason to sweat. To delete the A/C for a .003 reduction in ET seems retarded to me if you're driving a street car. Race car, or turbo(s), yeah, it must be trashcanned. I would never delete the air conditioning on street car.
