AC delete will basically free up nothing as the AC doesnt put a load on the engine when it's off, if i had to guess the smog is good for 1-2hp, only a shot in the dark though.

+1

the main reason for deleting smog and ac is to shed weight. delete the ps pump and youll free up some good hp and loose weight

i just got rid of my ps, ac, and smog pump.. went with a flaming river manual rack. but it was the weight i was after. with my new qa1 fron K member and getting rid of all them pulleys and pumps i probably dropd 80lbs easy.. witch is almost a tenth of a second plus better weight transfer at the strip.. and less stress on my motor..

ps. i also have electric mezier water pump.. so alls im turning is the alt and crank.. should really help stress and maybe some power at higher rpms...
