Theoretically, yeah. But I think the extra weight of the system and the friction caused by running another belt does suck some power, even with AC off. My engine doesn't spin up as fast now...it's a noticable difference. Also, where I could once cruise up hills say in 4th or 3rd, I now have to downshift to make it up...this all happens with the AC off. I'm gonna check my install to make sure I wired and installed everything correctly.
