Default Do I need a/c fan?

I'm about to put together my turbo kit on my 99 Integra b18b. Just wondering if I have to keep my a/c fan. I would like to keep my a/c of course, but it wold free up some room for me. Does it make a big difference? I'm going with a log style mani with an internally gated T3 turbo.....
Thanks!

you dont need an ac fan, the ac wont be as cold when your not moving though. like city driving wont be as cool.

im not currently running a fan and its stays cold as long as im moving consistantly at over 20mph.
if your a/c system builds up too much pressure from heatsoaking the condensor it will shut off.

You *need* a fan.
Last summer my fan went south... didn't realize at first, but car was working really weird in idle, and you could hear clicking noise. Also, when driving slowly car was also driving like sh*t.

What happened was condensor got way hot, and pressure in compressor also skyrockets - which made compressor use much more power.
Also, it was shutting on/off all time due to this.... luckily I found out quickly what the problem is...

So - you do need a fan there if you want to have normally functioning A/C.
