Re: keep a/c or not? (98silvercivicEX)
if you have a turbo, the few HP the AC robs won't make a difference. The question is can you fit it in there...
i would keep the A/C but i live in CA.

A well rounded modded car would deserve a/c. The loss of h/p would really be nadda. Im a little North of you and after swapping in the r motor I had every intention of putting a/c in. Hell I even had to buy all the a/c parts lol. But I never installed it.

Re: keep a/c or not? (RangerDan)
I just went through the hastle of putting A/C back onto both of my Honda's. One is boosted and the other is not... I have been living on Oahu, but me and the wife are moving back to the burbs in Phoenix so had to hook it up with the A/C....

There's no humidity there. I was in Breckenridge in July and it hit 86F (hot in Breck) one day and it was nothing.
