My car weighed about 2370 today with 1/3 tank of gas.

 

What kind of horsepower gains are you looking at by removing the a/c?

 

None, tho the benefit of weight savings can be expressed in terms of HP when compared to a car of stock weight. It goes something like this, every 10 lbs of weight savings in a lite S2K is equivalent to 1 HP extra in a stock S2K. I probably have that 10lbs = 1hp figure wrong but its probably pretty close.

 

-as I understand it-

It changes and depends where you start measuring from.

If you start w/ a stock at 2750lbs & 240hp is 11.48 lbs per hp. So every 11.48 lbs you remove would be the same as adding 1 hp to a 2750lbs car.

 

AHHHH... thanks for that bit of info... haha ill prolly go strip my car out i like it too much but that is useful information!!

 

To revive a OOOOLLLLLDDDD post, can the lines be capped to avoid tearing the underdash out? What belt sizes are you guys using?

 

NVM about the belt size, still wondering about the line caps for the A/C, I want to do this to prevent contaminants so I can easily restore it to OEM. Thanks in advance, shock.

 

All of the ac hardware weighs over 100lbs!! really :S ???

i'm planning on removing it since i NEVER used it...

 

Is there a DYI on this by any chance because i wanted to remove my AC hardware, keep everything needed for heat as i drive in a cooler climate for about 3 months that i drive the car and i hoenstly have no idea where to start when doing such a project
