has anyone removed the ac unit from there car... i was just wondering if anyone has noticed a difference in this... seems like it would restore a lil hp due to crank movin a lil freeer or something like that. what belt would i use to make it work cause i still have power steering help me out cause im seriously thinking about doin it.

I couldnt live without A/C. You might gain a couple ponies from it but not worth it if your car is a daily driver. Only way I would do it is if I lived in northern canada or alaska.

i don't really use it... im all bout the windows bein down and i recently had to put a heater core in so i had to have my 134a system drained.. still havent recharged it.. but i will lay everything to the side just in case. just wondering if anyone noticed a difference and what i would need to change.

take off your ps/ac belt you'll feel a huge difference..driving without ps sucks for about a week..then you get used to it.... haha... wheni put my belt bak on after like a month i thought i was gonna flip my car cuz my wheels were so easy to turn..... if it wasnt in the 90's here everyday that belt would still be off.... but...if you want power steering i think you could just buy a shorter belt .... (when you go to buy a belt they ask if you have ac...just say no) ...
