well the time has come to have the ac removed because it is not working at all and all it does is create drag and keep weight on the car. anyone knows what kind of gains i would see ? i am hoping for better gas yardage

well... it only really creates drag when its on, there might be a tiny bit when the ac is off, but when the compressor is off, its a free spinning pully. the "power gains" your going to get out of it is going to be whatever weight you pull out. not really worth it in my opinion.

on a side note, you actually get better gas milage with the a/c on and the windows up(at least in my car while going anywhere from 55+ in all the times ive tested it) . the drag created from having open windows works against you more thanthe A/C compressor.

yeah, i figured that out but the ac is out and it's gonna run me 1k to fix it, so might as well break it completely. it's free

That'll be the only time I would ever take an A/C out.... if the A/C is broke. Same goes with power steering.

Any of you guys plan on removing A/C for power/time slip reasons? I still don't get that...it makes me feel that I'm just not dedicated enough or something.

well i will never drag the car, but less weight on the front will be actually nice. i am thinking of putting the battery in the trunk or something
