i actually RARELY use my A/C. Even when it's hot, window's down.
Usually, during the summer, I'm in someone else's car as it is. The Type-R is more of a weekened driver, since I have a bucket for every day abuse.

I removed mine from my GSR and it was really not all that hard. Make sure you drain the refrigerant first and then start removing the lines, compressor, etc. You will need to remove your battery and intake to do this. If you choose to remove your evaporator from inside the car you need to buy two parts from Acura (I have the part numbers at home) for about $50.00. Removing the evaporator is a real PITA and I had to take my airbag out because I did not have a deep enough socket to reach one of the bolts on top.

It's easy.
Wrap a garbage bag around the refill port and release all of the refrigerant into the bag. The bag keeps the refrigerant oil from spraying all over the car.
Undo the sockets wherever you see them (ie: under airbox, behind battery, etc.), and remove the lines as you go.
You can remove the radiator, or let it lean back to remove the condensor depending on how much room you have.
I got by without having to remove my front bumper, but I think I had my header off for other work at the same time.
