Re: Thinkin about removing A/C?

You lose about 40 lbs If you remove the ac compressor, condensor and lines. You can drop like 10 extra by removing the thingy ont he firewal but it iss a pita so i left it on as most do. The engine bay looks the samll just no ac lines and no compressor. The condensor is inbetween the radiator and the front of the car. There is no prower gain at all. Possibly less drag but i doubt it. I would definitely say drop it if you dont use it.
