Weight savings deleting AC
No turning back now! Will running car in NASA next year and pulling engine to repair. Want to loose whatever weight I can and want to simplify under the hood.

I'm curious what the total weight of the AC system is. Would be cool if you would weigh it.

I'm guessing 25#'s including the Freon...
Any other guesses? |

Wanna leave the heater if the windshield fogs up. AC runs a separate stupid ass "stretch" belt! So stupid, no tensioner like all GM cars that I have worked on. |
