That's a silly question to anybody that has lived in Texas for at least an hour or two.

When I use to ask people from Texas "how do you go without A/C" their response usually was "I'm a warrior". I guess it wasn't their daily driver, heh.

I have a/c. I think that if it affects your performance so much by losing 5hp from having a/c, then you're not making enough power

I love the heat but I still keep the AC. I may sacrifice a lot of other comforts but the AC is one I will always keep!

yeah i dont know about houston but i live in dallas and the summers can hit over 110 degrees, i used to have a 92 integra gsr without ac and in traffic id get darker by the time i get home like 30mins, and my shirt and pants would be wet where they were dripping sweat.. dont get rid of ac for 3-5 hp i know your not driving a 5-7 hundred monster (which if you were you shouldent be driving it on the streets) youll be so much happier with the ac youll be kicking yourself in the *** everyday around noon....

Guess that makes me a warrior. Of course I live in northwest Texas. All kidding aside, keep the AC, unless you enjoy the stench of your own B.O.

To me its not worth it unless your going all out. i would ditch power steering before a/c. this is not biased i had a/c and then i ditched it but wish i wouldnt have, (especially w/leather seats) besides girls wont care how fast your car is or how good it looks if there hair gets messed up and they break a sweat i garuntee you wont get any

My compressor popped off the bracket 1 month ago, now I think I have pissed in my pants everytime i get out the car. Or my mom wanted to ride with me yesterday for mother's, I'm glad we had a little breze here otherwise her mother's day hair due would have been a mother's day-night mare. But i do like the night time air, Were not as humid as houston......well .Sometimes.

A/c's a must.

thats why u get a 4runner w/ AC and tunes for the daily. haha. The Integra is like a rollercoaster. No AC, you strap in, hold on, and haul ***. Girls like rollercoasters too. it gets them wet.

a/c is for woosies You should be able to go fast enough 2 keep cool. My company provided work truck didn't have a/c and I was in it 8 hrs a day for 2 years. It however couldn't go fast enough to keep cool.. but you will get used to the heat and sweat. Just wear good deodorant LOL

*note my daily driver has all the creature comforts. So my suggestion is get a beater.. but I always recommend a second car anyway.
