a/c delete?
 
how much will this help me? will i gain any hp/tq? is it worth the $50?

There is no gain only weight loss.

1999mustang2000 05-05-2009 05:31 PM

shouldnt it be..since it should take less power to move the belt?

livefast1 05-05-2009 05:57 PM

the compressor pulley "free wheels" when the compressor clutch isn't engaged so there is no power gain. if you find you still want to do it for the weight reduction, you don't need to buy a kit, you just install a k060888 belt and will have to loosen the tensioner to get the belt on in a rerouted position.

ac delete isnt worth it unless you have a real reason... like if its a strictly track car, or youre swapping in a motor without a/c...or if the ac is broken and you dont wanna pay out to fix it, etc.... youre gonna save a few lbs and not even notice it, until the next time its 90 degrees out and youre stuck in rush hour traffic wishin you had ac lol

mustangman281 05-05-2009 08:38 PM

If you remove the entire system it's about 70lbs.

+1 ill keep my a/c for those 100* humid hot days. not worth it imo

I removed mine because I burned thru one of the lines. THe fix would have cost $250 and the delete was only $50. I now wish I would have spent the extra $200.
