Default AC eliminator?

Hey guys, I'm wondering about an A/C eliminator kit from FR.....my a/c is out of freon anyways, and I really don't use the ac, I mostly just roll the windows down lol


Would this add any power by not having to turn the compressor? Would it have the same effect as UD pullies? I don't wanna add UD pullies b/c I may go s/c in the future, but if I can sacrafice AC for the same gains then I'd be sold!



Thanks!

Your A/C compressor is clutched. . . so when you dont have the A/C on it's not drawing any power. But im sure it wouldnt hurt any.
