even if you don't ever use the actual ac function it's still good to have it in the car if you live in a really wet climate (like i do) because with ac the windows defrost in less than a min. w/o it's like... five mins, if they do defrost at all.

I only use ac in the summer, you need it in cali if you don't want to sweat in my opinion.

depends on YOU really...
and also depends on where you live and how hot it gets...
if youre the type of guy that sweats for everything then probably not
but if your sloppy and dont really care about walking around looking dirty/bummy with sweat all over you and a huge sweat patch on the back of your shirt and all over your armpits then its okay...
also depends at what time of the day and for how long you drive your car and if its a daily driver or a more like project car...and how built your engine is for you get rid of the a/c if youre boosting your car then i'd say its a must...but if you got a more like normal swap with the usual headers intake and exhaust and other boltons then i'd keep it...
i live in miami and its usually between 60-80 and summer 90 and up i got my a/c

When I got my hatch i was going to just remove the whole system. Then I moved to a little town called Tracy, Ca and said F that. It can get up to 115-120 in the summer. No way in hell I'm goin without AC in that kind of heat.

i have it...and a B16 swap. it's very useful!
i use it more for defogging on rainy days than keeping cold...but it's great on trips in the summer too.

again i live in florida, sunshine state my ***. I mainly want it for the rain to actually be able to see out my windows and not roll with the windows down and have EVERYTHING in the car super soaked (happened the other day )

as for the a/c swap for the ef, its cake. i picked up a hasport bracket for 65 bucks, resold it for 100 cause my girl/friends got me the innovative one for x-mas (since im running everything innovative i decided to stay with it). I just need to go get the idler pulley, and my friends brand new OEM compressor and a new evap box (one of my hoses are stuck on and i cant get it off to save my life + its hella stripped now). i should have it in and blown ice cold in a few weeks before the nasty weather comes.
