when you guys did your engine swap did you keep your ac?

 

no

 

nope...i ditched it

 

Yep I did, Texas=life necessity to have A/C

 

Yes. It isn't that hard to keep. The main thing that was a pain was installing the header. The a/c lines tend to get in the way.

 

never had it in my Si

 

Yep. Even converted to 134. NY summers are no joke!

 

yup, I kept mine. you'll need it during the summer season

 

Went for years thinking that taking the A/C out was better. After I put it back in, I changed my mine.

A/C would do wonders for your mentality while driving in bumper to bumper traffic on an extremely hot day from San Diego to Los Angeles.

 

yea i took my a/c out and on the way home from work in the summer i wanted to crash my car into a wall it was so hot in there stoping and going for an hour on the highway

 

took it out, not too bad despite the 100°+ summers.

 

Took mine out, now I wish I had not living in FL

 

second that
my STD never had A/C

 

i don't have it.. Northern VA isn't that bad, but we have temps. around 90 degrees and 85 percent humidity.. which is what kills ya..

 

who needs a stinking AC anyway....
1-puts more stress into the engine
2-adds more weight
3- dont be a crybaby and sweat a little....while u at it, u will be doing weight reduction on you while u sweat....
4- they are xpensive to fix...(my dad works on AC's and i knoe they can be a money hole)
5-doesnt let u listen to ur engine sounds.... hear if anything goes wrong....
6- the engine temp level goes up

 

what's an ac?

 

Couldn't have said it any better if I had to.

jB

 

AC?? What does that mean? I don't think I've heard of that. Especially when you own an STD

 

Seeing as how some use their cars for daily drivers, comfort can be a SPECTACULAR

BTW: when it's hot as hell outside and you don't have AC, how many girls ride with you?

I kept my a/c for several reasons but one of them is... if it's comfortable in my car, I'd rather have her ride with me than me ride with her, whoever "her" may be!

 

I didnt but had no option. It was too tight of a squeeze ( B20vtec in an '87 HB Si). If i swap again though im definitely gonna keep it.
