I dont want the AC robbin my horsepower... so could i just take off the belt wheel to it and leave it there?

 

I would think you could, but then you would have no AC and a bunch of dead weight from its componets

 

I can give a step-by-step process to remove the components if your actually interested in doing this.

 

I want to keep the AC so i can reconnect them during the summer and not have to go through all the crap of putting everything back on, it seems like just taking thr wheel of would be easier.

 

Thats what I've done. Although I plan to paint the a/c chrome or somtin to make it look nice.

 

The AC doesn'y rob any horsepower unless it's on. There's an electromagnetic clutch that engages the compressor when you turn it on. Otherwise, just a pulley on bearings is spinning when it's off.

All you do by removing the AC system is unclutter the bay and save a decent amount of wieght.

 

pulled mine, havn't missed it yet

 

Ya I took mine off just because I did not want to spend the money fixing it. The old a.c. mount works great for
a engine brace to shore up my soft engine mounts.

But if it had been working I would not have messed with it.

One thing with a.c. is they like to be used even in colder temps. I run mine on my cars once in awile just to keep the seals and compresser lubed. they last longer.

 

pulled mine as well. also havnt missed it as of yet. Just uninstall everything and save your self a good 30-40 lbs of ****. lol

mine looked like it was dealer installed unhooked the high /low hoses from firewall pulled rad condensor compressor, hoses, and the harness came off as a unit, so it will be easy to put back on! for now i love the uncluttered look, i wonder if i could reinstall the mount and hang my supercharger on it?hmmmm

 

The A/C is heavy and just another thing to break.

 

yeah I pulled mine, including all the crap under the dash. no regrets yet. Engine bay is much nicer now.

 

spec RX7 it would be very useful if you posted the instructions or emailed them to me. Thanks.

 

Cmon, here in Fl, its almost mandatory to keep it in a streetcar. Remind me never to sit at the same table as you in a resturant in summer time.

 

Waddayou from NY?

 

Isint everyone down here??? bada-bing! A O A O

 

true dat. I was amazed that two people from florida posted above that they did'nt miss their A/C...

 

Surely Florida has been cool since it got its present Governor?
