You unbolt it.

It weights about 20-30 lbs.

its not that bad...on a light car, write now my daily driver is my bosses 85 econoling 150 with no power steeering and thats annoying to drive at low speeds when trying to park and stuff like that. But thats a huge van not a small car; shouldn't be to bad for your car. when at normal driven speeds(20mph+) you should be fine

It was completely worth it for me, and I still feel it was one of the best modifications I ever made to my car. The complete system (DC2) weighs approx. 16 lbs. Removing the system (or the belt) frees up roughly 5 whp on a B-series, should be somewhat similar for a D-series.
