This sounds accurate (I was surprised how little weight it took off when I pulled it on my camaro), and it makes me wonder why everybody and their mom pulls their A/C out on their cars. I see people pulling out their A/C's on their daily driver cars that are stock or close to it, as if it is actually going to make some kind of difference. I pulled mine on my camaro, but I got a cam. I really can't see why someone without a cam or something to justify it would pull their A/C.

Taking out the ac smog pump egr all vaccuum lines did in fact clean my engine bay up. I wasn't saying taking the egr out alone would clean it up. Show me a pic of a stock engine bay and i'll show u how much cleaner mine is and how much more room there us too work under the hood.

I guess we can argue about personal preferences all day but that's of no value.

The original poster hasn't said anything since 2 April so maybe we should assume his question has been answered...

You also need to understand... the person who asked the question owns a 95. The AIR/EGR setup is significantly different than your 93. The details.... like what year car are we talking about... make a difference.

Re: 1995 z28 mods?

Good questions... but I can tell you from experience - rather than start asking more questions onto your current post, start a new post about the rear axle. And, start it in the right forum. Questions about the rear axle assembly are posted on the "Drivetrain" forum, and there is a "sticky" at the top of that forum listing that covers the available options for rear axle replacement.
