Default Underdrives with A/C??

I was wondering if you can use underdrives and still keep your ac or not?

With some kits you can. I'd just get one with the AC delete and call it a day. I mean think about it, do you really use it in the first place during the summer months? I know some people do, but nobody I know does. It's windows down and loud exhaust all the way =) Besides, you do get a little more horse out of it but deleting it and you can take the excess weight off the car too.

i deleted the AC once... and will NEVER do it again

yes you can use ac and UD's, but i always had trouble in the winter w/ ud pullies and charging....lots of dead batteries the next day, but it had some amps too which didn't help i'm sure

Dead batteries? Never happened to me. I guess I just got lucky. That's a bummer.......

Well, if you require AC, go for it then. I never use it in my car but that's just me =)

Must not get hot in RI. Come down here to Florida and within a week you will either move back to RI. or get the A/C put back in. I have run U/D's in all my foxbodies and have never had a problem.

N.C. coast is humid and hot but nothing like Alabama or Florida. I have underdrive Mac system run ac no problems. Summer in the South seems to be about 1/4 mile from hell and getting hotter. Keep the air turn to max put blower on high.
