Removing AC
- Thread starter hottscennessey

Since you have gone that far, get everything else out. Condensor, evaporator, lines, reciever/dryer, and more lines.
No A/C? What are you gonna do in summer wear a cool suit? Drive naked? (I think that may be illegal.) Seriously, doesn't this kill the value of the car, not to mention the comfort factor. I know your gonna say less horsepower drain on the motor but comon, is it really worth it? Just curious on why people do this. :icon_conf
Less HP drain..... remove the belt.
Seriously how much HP can the belt/clutch suck when it's not engaged.
There was another thread about this split between AirCon lovers/Haters
(I love all the creature comforts in the Supra if I wanted a fast light car it would be an early Celica with a 6 bolted in)

Agreed.
Yeah I've been looking for a supra for a friend to buy and a lot of them look good until I read the AC has been removed. Then it's like, damn, one more thing he is going to want me to fix for him. What a pain in the ass. I just don't understand, when 0.3 lbs. of boost will take care of any weight added by those components. Unless it's a hard core track only car, I just don't understand why. To each there own I guess. In response to the thread starter. Yes, you can loop them but that runs the risk of them coming undone and causing problems. You best bet is to do like tubbie said and remove the rest of the components.

Much less. The A/C compressor isn't being turned unless A/C is on. It just freewheels.
yea, i'm not really into the horsepower gains of it, but i have a targa and windows for the summer, and the AC doesnt work anyways. I've made it, i'll live. so i'm taking care of the lines now, so what do i do about the ones that go into my radiator???
