It removes a very small amount of drag from the engine.

but stil lreduce rotating mass, and perhaps increase the bearing life on the engine bearings?

:eek2:

i'm going to let this one slide.













































actually, no i'm not. :slap:

removing the AC belt will give you NO gains what so ever. the pulley on the AC compressor is on a clutch and spins very freely. youre better off fixing the AC so you can have nice cold air in the summer, and efficiant defrosting action.

removing the ENTIRE AC system will remove an amount of weight. (how much? i dunno).

^ 80 or so lbs, iirc.
