boooooooooooooooooooooo

 

i had to replace mine cuz my AC siezed on my last car...this car i Just took it out.

 

65rwhp depending on the color of your car..

 

Well if you add that and a few stickers, should see your car making somwhere around 500hp dont you guys think?

 

What it gains more than anything is room to work.

 

man, you guys don't have to be aholes about it.

pros:
- Room to work (as TonyK said)
- about 80ish lbs (rough math 100lb = -.1 sec)
- Throttle response tiny bit better
- If condensor removed, better airflow for radiator(tranny cooler if equiped)
- cleaner looking engine bay (which we all know the LT1 needs )

 

i was just kidding..

 

It won't give you any more HP than when the a/c is off.

 

 

just go ahead and do it all....just get the p/s and a/c delete bracket if you want to really clean it up....i love all the room i've gained to work in the engine on mine

 

prolly darn near 50 lbs so if you figure it out to 100lbs is a 1/10 and 10 rwhp is a 1/10th then it should be equal to 5rwhp or half of one tenth if that makes any sense

 

get rid of it if it doesnt work, if ur trying to go fast drag racing and u dont care about AC then delete it and lose the weight. Or call up SJM manufacturing and get a pulley delete kit like i did. I deleted the power steering, the ac compressor and all that crappy bracketry. That combined with an electric water pump and my car now keeps up with my friends 6 speed SS ls1 :] i have tonz of other bolt ons but i couldent keep up with him till i did that one lol.

 

so you just have a belt to the alternator? anymore info/pics on this setup?-Mark
