Great info thanx alot.

ac is as good as gone, pwr strin is a possibility, has anyone else taken out there pwr strin, how do you like the feel.

 

Having the A/C on is a very noticeable power drain from the engine. When im on the highway and i turn it on its kinda hard to accelerate, as soon as i turn it off there is a HUGE difference. the best bet is just to turn your A/C off and there should be minimal power drain.

 

im not talking about the power drain when the ac is on.

the drain in just having the ac in general, the weight, and the drag on the motor.

 

I have not taken the whole unit out, power steering that is. But I simply took the belt off while dyno tuning my car and made the 3hp and 4 torque. It literaly takes maybe 3 minutes to do as long as the bolts break easily. Its just losening two 12mm bolts and then loosening the spindle bolt I guess you could call it untill the belt losens up enough to pull right out. Its rather simple.

 

Oh and the feel? I don't mind it because, you get used to it. At low speeds it does suck. But you get used to it. You feel like you can feel the road better in my opinion.
