RE: hp gains (a/c)
 

is The A/C belt seperate from everything else, do i need a new belt?

RE: hp gains (a/c)
 

AC Belt is seperate from PS and ALT.

Removing A/C will produce about 1hp, and save 20lbs max. Not really worth it

ya I would go with what forty said, because I wish you would rip out that ac and give it to me to put in my hatch, lol serious

RE: hp gains (a/c)
 

If you're going to take out it, make sure to drain out the system fully. You'll probably need an ac service repair shop to do that for you.

well thanks for your guys input! it blows my mind how much you guys know.
i am going to take out the a/c unit so if anyone need one needs it let me know. i was just going to save the parts for sale at end. 20lb and some if none hp. its coming out if i said well 20 lb here 10lbs there not worth it then i wouldn't have taking out over 200lbs i think i can take out 200lbs more thanks for your help and i'm sure ill need it again.

The A/C unit only decreases HP when in use doesn't it? Just don't use the thing.

RE: hp gains (a/c)
 

Option A: remove A/c, sweat like nobody's business, without gaining any desirable power

Option B: keep A/c, stay cool, keep current power (like option A)
