Gains from AC Delete

are there any noticable gains from deleting the AC system. im thinking about doing it because my system needs a recharge and I really dont care if the AC works or not, but it the gains arent noticable then I dont know if i should take it out.

Thanks for the help.

Paul

And the room you will get to work on the car cannot be overlooked.
I vote you do it, if you are even thinking about it go ahead and do it, you won,t be disappointed.
That weight is all on the nose of the car, the best place to remove weight.
Of course some people can,t live without AC.
I am not one of those people so its your decision.

I like Lasagna.
I hate AC on a street/strip car.
In a cadillac? sure.
I never have liked AC on my hot rods.
besides nothing screams hardcore like AC delete.
Except maybe radio delete, I am thinking about that too.
