The AC isn't sapping any power from your engine when it's off...why would you do this?

*hand hit forhead* IDIOT! Come on man use your brain here! your supposed to relieve the pressure off your AC system before doing anywork on it! and why just the condensor? why not the pump too? the pump is whats robbing your power!

*walks away mumblein* non thinking fools, can't do anything without guidance.....

Plug up the lines really well so if you ever decide to use them again they will still be okay to use.

Working on your A/C system is very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. That's some bad news, bud. Don't do it again.

ya I know. O well I think im going to have someone else remove the rest of the AC unit probably, I never use it, its never that cold. SO all its doing is costing me more weight and power.

I believe there is a HUGE fine if the EPA finds out about how you removed your AC.
