Who needs A/C?
My A/C didn't work very well when I got the car(original R12 system), and then the compressor went out. When I did my rebuild, the A/C stayed in a box. 
I honestly think A/C is a necessity here in Texas, but it is tolerable with the windows down on the high way.

I'm usually cruising with the windows down and the sunroof open. Still have a/c, might take it off considering I don't use it. I guess it would be more usefull at highway speeds.

its not only good for summer time, but you also need it as a defogger on rainey days. i would rather keep ac, but I bought my car without it, so im without it. It uses alluminum brackets for the ps pump n ac compressor. BTW, I sweat a lot and I live in southern cali

I am an A/C guy to the end. I was experienced at working on and trouble-shooting A/C long before I got my 7.
I personally believe that with the exception of a track car, if you are south of Chicago, you need A/C for several reasons:
A/C is a must if you want to arrive with your clothes unwrinkled and dry. This is a plus on most all jobs. You will make more money if you present yourself well.
Do you want the value of your car to hold or even increase? Make everything work right. This is especially true of A/C. Working A/C adds value to your car WHEN you sell it. Unless you total your car you will eventually sell it.
Let's face it, (most) girls don't like to sweat...

the a/c compressor on my quest didnt work so I took it off, if it worked I would definately have kept it, but it does save about 40 lb's, and helps clean up the engine bay to get rid of it..
I dont use a/c anyways though, I always roll down my windows

My A/C went out five months after I bought the car in 1997. I have not had it since then and have lived in Oklahoma, NewYork, Goergia, and now in Texas and I dont really need it. I am fine with just the heat.

You set'em up, I knock'em down.
But seriously, I was referring to sweating. You guys have what, 10 maybe 15 days over 85*? We also go for weeks when the night temperature doesn't drop below 85*. At night.
A couple of years ago, we had 45 days in a row over 100.

Well, that's cause all the cold girls stayed in MICHIGAN and hot girls moved to TEXAS!
