not much, maybe 1 or 2, when the A/C is running it's drawing a hell of a lot though, probably closer to 15-20 when it's running.

RE: good install

it's based on a percentage i think, it's something like 20% possibly, so that's like 0.2 times total hp and that'll give you an estimate, i'm not positive it's 20 percent though.

RE: good install

I personally wouldn't have deleted the A/C, unless it's purely a drag car, deleting it lowers re-sale value, and on a hot summer day you're just screwed. I would've deleted the smog pump way before A/C. Besides, that A/C delete pulley has drag aswell so you probably didn't gain anything technically. But you did drop about 25 or so lbs off your car.

RE: good install

you'd be surprised how fast the value on a clean FOX body has been coming up lately.

Bluebook only list them around $2000, but nice ones with some mods are getting close 10k now.
Seen original super low mile super clean ones for as much as $15-20k
