you don't need anything just remove it completely it has a separate belt so you wont miss it ,,, good luck in the summer..

No A/C here all summer. Not bad really...and my car is black.
Only thing sux is when your windows get all fogged up

for weight reduction its just stupid unless you have a second car.
if you are installing a turbo that requires it then do it.
but if its just for weight reduction alone thats just flat out stupid.

this guy is 100% correct.
but since you're up north, summers up there shouldn't be too bad. but i still wouldnt do it unless i had a 2nd car.
the guy who owned my gsr before me took everything out except for a couple of lines (the ones by the battery). i played HELL finding all of the **** again and installing all of it.
so if you you do it, make sure you seal off any lines you leave on the car, and make sure you don't lose anything. especially the pulley off of the a/c bracket!!!!!

i made the mistake of taking out ac last spring, this summer was hell in my black integra. all through july we have 100-110 F temps, and it was shitty. i was planning ahead for a turbo and thought i'd have to get rid of ac anyway, but after doing some research it turns out most of the bolt-on kits don't require ac removal. unless you're 100% sure you won't regret it, then pull it. otherwise, you're gonna be slapping yourself later for it.

I don't use a/c, just roll my windows down. My a/c is hot as hell anyways cuz my a/c lines are right next to my turbo.

are you sure your system isn't just empty? you should try charging it first. if that doesn't help, get heat reflective tape. the a/c should work just fine with a turbo.

Actually......the heater + window defrosters seems to work for me in those situations. I also took out my A/C too.
