Imo its really up to your car is DD or weekend toy. I live in tx and my AC compressor gave up, couldnt live without AC when it was over 100degree outside. Yes, it was my dd but if it was weekend toy, im sure i could deal with it.

 

Yea, the 100 degree will be a killer, although those come only 2-3 times a year where I am.

 

So did you do the delete? I am considering doing a convert on my CR but want to learn more first. I think I could handle the humid days above 95 since I don't drive it daily, and could always convert back afterwards....

 

I did not do it but I rarely run my AC. My point is that I am in Jersey too and the only time I feel the need to use the AC is if I am in traffic (happens alot here) and its hot Out or when its raining. With the AC off the defrosters work for *hit so consider having to deal with foggy windows in the rain in the cold.

 

im a big vag and work in a warehouse thats 90-100 degrees for 8 hours straight so when i get in my car i dont wanna suffer more. Ac everyday

 

I deleted everything. I don't regret it. I only drive the car once a week or every other week at most in the summers. If i had to DD i'd probably lean more towards keeping it

 

Cool. Any pointers, tips or resources you can direct to towards to further investigate? I found this thread--> My link by a guy I work with, but he doesn't have a CR, and it looks like he did not intend to keep the parts for possible reversal as I plan to do. This is primarily for a few years worth of autocross competition. I plan to preserve the parts so that when I reinstall them everything functions properly.

Anything would help so that I can make an informed decision accounting for the exact nature of the A/C delete process.

Thanks!

 

I live in Chicago an are summers get pretty damn hot. I've been running no ac for like 3 years. I daily the s majority o he time when it's nice out and the heat doesn't get to me. It's a personal choice but I'd take top down windows down flying around any day over the ac. It's really simple job to remove as ac systems are pretty straight forward. Any dealership or service center that has an evac system will/should evac your refrigerant for free. Then it's just removing he lines, pump, accumulator/receiver dryer, and fitting a cr (no ac) drive belt.
If you ever want to go back just reattach everything and go get a refrig' charge. Only thing you could damage are the o rings, which are fairly cheap anyways. Ac o rings are generally green people, don't go putting black autozone o rings on!

 

I live in Florida and still never use my ac. I was wanting to delete it as well. Can anyone tell me how to remove the lines? The only DIY I've seen, the guy just cut his but I'd rather keep them in working condition in case I either sell the car or change my mind.

 

It's really easy. There is enough info on s2ki if you keep searching. The main thing is to have the system depressurized. After that, it is easy to figure out how to take everything out. At the firewall, just pull/wiggle the lines from the junction and they need not be cut. Make sure to have some rags to catch the residual oil.
