well for the seriously **** people who think that every ounce is wasted energy, lol i have stripped the car of most other stuff so i was just thinking that in doing this it might help out some more with the weight savings you know.

removing the ac in no way affects your heater, there is a hose in the back of the block that runs into the firewall and heats the heater core under the dash

you remove the pump, canister, the ac lines and condensor along with the fan

the ac lines thar run into the fire wall can be plugged and you can still use your defroster when its cold/rainy
