I removed it, but only because I don't daily drive my car. I don't drive it on the street at all. Depends on where you live if you're a wimp or not for keeping it.

P/S is, but not A/C.

Come down here where it idles at 95-100 everyday for 6-8 months and the other months doesn't go below 80, you'll definitely need the A/C.

I have my A/C still, it gets way to hot in the summer not to have it. The gain is not big enough(yet) for the loss of the A/C.

Just because you have an A/C doesn't make you a wimp. If you can produce a fast car with the A/C intact i'll give more credit to you then the one who had to take it out.

Ouch, can't take a joke. I daily drive a car with No A/C, NO P/S, and a non-reclining racing bucket. Gotta love Jersey weather. Hot summers and cold *** winters.

I didn't think it was a joke, written words are hard to get an expression from(especially the joking expression), especially without correct punctuation and without saying you are joking.

But nah no bust i'm cool, not mad, I got A/C.

A/C and p/s are gone like the doodoo bird. Once you take those out it opens your engine bay so much and makes that sohc look so anemic. Next comes the interior. Hell and this is even my daily driver too!
