WEIGHT OF A/C COMPONENTS???

[datanTOOLman]

How much weight would i loose by removing all of the a/c components?? The compressor went bad and since the car is mostly for fun a dont need a/c, i completely gutted the trunk and would like to get about another 20-30lbs off the car.

Also if it would be worth removing the a/c would i have to get a new belt or is that all the belt drives??

all together about 75lbs

no need for a different belt, they all run off a separate belt

75lbs , didnt think it would be that much. Guess i'll get on that, thanks.

I'd be surprised if the AC is even 35lbs. There isn't much to the system. The compressor is the heaviest component at about 15-20lbs. The fan, condensor, plumbing isn't much at all.

yeah id guess about the same, i think the biggest power gain you might see out of it is just cause there is no belt spinning that compressor, which even then the belt only really drags when the compressor is on, otherwise it has a magnetic clutch that is disengaged
