I think that's really up to you. If you're willing to make the sacrifice. Me personally, I decided to ditch all those things

yea its up to you. my **** is gutted and tore apart, but still looks very good.
I took out all the ac **** too . . . . i take off the ps belt. but too lazy to drain the rack yet and do all that . but i tinhk its worth it if you race like everyweekend like me and trying to hit that next level .
but you need mods to go with that , cant just reduce wieght and be fast. but they are good for a few quick free hp and less wieght

I ordered my Civic without air in the first place; I had to wait longer, but it was worth it. My power steering pulley just cracked recently and started making a strange noise, so I yanked out the whole power steering system and put a manual rack and pinion in. If you are serious about weight reduction, and it appears that you are, ditch the A/C and PS.
