Sooo, I yanked out my a/c, weight reduction #'s within
Sooo, I yanked out my a/c, weight reduction #'s within
So, last week I yanked it out and I finally got around to weighing everything:
Compressor: 14.5
a/c radiator thingee: 8.5
pulley and metal bracket: 2.0
silver bottle thing and bracket: 2.5
Misc metal and rubber lines: 2.0
Misc bolts: 1.0
Total 30.5 pounds off the nose
Not bad at all
Also it opens up sooooo much room under the hood
Pics will be posted sooner or later
This is on a 1997 v6 firebird
Now, I just gotta get some damn traction!!!!

If it took off 250lbs I wouldn't do it! Even here in the North East it's to damn hot in the summer without AC. To each his own, but my answer to carrying around that weight is: more boost!

The "silver bottle thing and bracket" is the receiver dryer.
There's also an evaporator (like a heater core) inside the heater box that's part of the AC. That probably weighs another 10 pounds but you need to disassemble the entire heater to get at it.
