I'll go ahead and advise you not to do it. You're going to regret it.

ive heard the a/c takes off about 40 lbs correct me please if im wrong

 

If you take it out get the freon taking out perfessionally so you dont pay the 10,000 dollar fine. Then start taking everything appart. Simple enough huh?

 

it might take off 40lbs. i dont know what you are driving but i dont think that youd even feel a difference. if weight is that much of a concern then go for it, but if your lookin for reducing the parasitic loss on the engine then IMO, keep it. its not worth it. if you are still concerned with it then take the belt off of it

 

after you remove the freon from the system, it's simple unbolting and removal process

hey man one question is the a/c belt a separate piece of what? after that i think i know how to take it out

 

and what happens when you take the a/c out does the freon just like spray everywhere or something?

 

i took my condensor out and my a/c fan to fit my turbo and everything in there. I might as well take the rest of my **** out too, just wasnt sure what all to take out.

 

i could never survive without a/c

 

and what happens when you take the a/c out does the freon just like spray everywhere or something?


Yes and yes. You don't want that **** on you, either!

 

There are two "nipples" on the A/C lines by the condensor. One is a high pressure and the other one is a low pressure. That's besides the point though. Remove the caps, press a screw driver in the nipples, and the freon will start coming out. It's illegal and unhealthy for the environment. If you decide to go this route though, put a towel on top of the lines so you don't get any of it on you, wear long sleeves, and cover your face or at least your eyes.

The belt is easy. You have to remove the compressor, tensioner and A/C bracket in order to remove the belt, or just cut the damn thing if you feel like it.

 

does a write-up exhist?

 

or pictures of each part to remove...im half way done

 

thanks for ill the help guys just took it out this afternoon

 

a better way is to remove the a/c hose that is attached to the compressor. i think its either a 10 or 12 mm nut. slowly turn it once you hear it releasing just walk away and come back in a bit. i dont recommend it this way either, i would take it to a certified mechanic to get the freon pumped out. much cheaner. if you go with the screwdriver way becareful the freon will give you burn. you will know what i mean. good luck.

 

need help did it today and now the check engine light is on i took out the condensor and fan and belt what else could have caused it. im thinking maybe electrical

 

i never understood why people buy si's then remove all of the features that make them si's?

nahh...it's definitaly gotta be the ice cold A/C

 

cause At 17 years old, the si was perfect for me, didn't have to do **** but bolt-ons and lower it. At 22, with a g35 to drive daily, the Si is just a toy that I can play with whenever I feel like it. turboed b16, jdm type R, all motor build up. Whatever I want, whenever I want. Haven't even driven the car for a year, and planned on selling it. Now it's just something to play with, ac...gone....cruise...gone...everything behind the front seats...gone. Why buy a cx hatch and turn it into something that makes it not a cx hatch anymore? (maybe it was a bad example, but the same **** really)
