I just removed all my ac stuff from the engine/engine bay cause it doesn't work. If anyone was curious about the weight savings, the following was removed:
-compressor
-belt
-all lines
-engine bracket/tentioner
-hardware
For a grand total of 27 pounds, just over 1 percent in weight loss, very little but it is what it is.

Did you remove the condensor from in front of the radiator, too?

And don't forget that lardo micro switch inside the slider controls.

:p

evaporator too.

Technical definitions of gain don't translate well to the track.

Likely, doing a basic tune-up would have netted you the 2-3HP that would translate into similar performance gains. Likely, given the condition of most cars here, quite a bit more, actually.

People here simply want feel good answers. Don't confuse them with FACTS, Dammit!

You simply can't call someone a F**ktard here, no matter how truthful it is.
Stupidity is contagious, and looks like it's pandemic here...

The south beach diet would have netted more loss than 27 lbs. and you could still keep cool with the ac.

Where are the old guys?
Sometimes you don't miss them until they're gone!
Nobody to whine and cry to-
I kept telling you not to poke the bear
Better get an FSM, learn how to read it and keep it handy children...

Mine has lost more than that just by rusting out!

i could use the a/c belt tentioner if you dont plan on using it:)

While I was installing my bushings, I also removed the AC. Living in South Florida, it was probably crazy but the AC didnt work and hadnt worked in at least 10 years. I removed the compressor, belt, idler pully, condenser, vacuum chamber, and lots of brass piping. It cleaned up my engine bay and weighed 50 pounds (I wieghed the parts on a scale).

FYI, 1 pound of steels makes 7 pounds of rust.

so a rusted car gets heavier, unless it falls off.
