At the expense of sounding like a d-bag I will say this....they say for every 100 pounds you get 10hp back and thats not even to the wheels....so for all that trouble you maybe gained 5rwhp if your lucky. When it gets hot your going to be kicking your self especially if the car has been sitting out for a while on a hot day AC does wonders in the summer. If your going for weight reduction hard core remove all the seats throw in some light weight racing seats, take out the spare, jack, all the carpeting, change electrical windows to manual...like they do with honda hatches just the basics....but unless your going extreme like that I'd say you should've kept the a/c I bet the power gain is similar to adding an intake if that.

And it cleans up the engine bay. Mustangs have big windows. Maybe your candy *** needs A/C, but we'll be fine.

yeah im with xemeth on this..ive lived without ac for over 2 years because all my **** leaked out so it didnt bother me one bit to loose the extra weight and have a motor that revs up a little quicker, ive learned to get by without it, dont matter if its hot or raining, and by the way CT has some hot sticky *** days that im sure would match some of that southern weather...andd by the way ive already gutted most of interior
