Re: a/c delete
It's about 45 lbs if you remove it all, some folks leave the evaporator under the glove box and just remove the under hood bits. Go to a mechanic and have the freon removed, then just unbolt it. The compressor, which hangs off the front of the engine and is driven by a belt is the most of the weight, 25 or 30 lbs.

Re: a/c delete
It's just harder to get to and weighs very little. You're also going to need a piece of ductwork to bridge the gap once you remove it.

Re: a/c delete
You can remove the compressor and as far as the hoses go, just cut them off if you never plan on fixing the A/C in the future or selling the car to someone who lives in Arizona

Re: a/c delete
all done, cut the hoses took the compressor and the bracket off. the bracket seemed to weigh more than the compressor. i wonder if i can use the belt as a replacement for the alternator, they look like they are the same size. well thanks for all your help guys.
