alphagtp Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 first of all, what is this?? I think I have an idea of it but, we never know second. if it is what I think, my a/c don't works and I'm not going to fix it, so would it be better to me to delete the a/c?? Quote

You'd lose the weight of the compressor, plus the weight of the A/C radiator, and would probably allow more airflow into your car's main radiator. You'd need to get a dummy compressor to put back in there though to keep your pulleys in the same pattern though. Quote

NAPA sells a delete pulley to install in place of the compressor. never heard of a 'dummy compressor' LOL! Quote
Psych0matt Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 I think that's basically what he meant. A solo pulley, instead of the pulley on the compressor. I should get one, cuz I don't ever use my a/c, even when it worked. wait, I take that back, the one time it rained while it was like 85* out Quote
1990lumina Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 All you guys that removed your A/Cs...in winter does the car still defrost properly? Quote

Psych0matt Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 yeah, but las vegas heat is a lot dryer than midwest heat. I was playing football a few summers ago in triple digit weather in colorado, not as bad (IMO) as 85 or 90 here Quote
greencutlassdrvr Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 yea thats true i forget bout humidity but still man sitting in traffic being 120 out burns ur ass good lol Quote
ManicMechanic Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 im in vegas rolling around with the windows down in triple digits lol That's what we call 4/80 A/C! Quote
greencutlassdrvr Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 im in vegas rolling around with the windows down in triple digits lol That's what we call 4/80 A/C! exactly haha Quote
alphagtp Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Posted December 12, 2007 yeah, I have heard of some pulleys to have the same serpertine belt with out the a/c. Would this get me any extra hp at all?? Quote
Psych0matt Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 probably not, it's going to do the exact same thing as your ac compressor pulley, when the ac is off Quote
Andrew Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 probably not, it's going to do the exact same thing as your ac compressor pulley, when the ac is off correct. the only time the AC conpressor causes any HP loss is when the AC is actually on. otherwise, it spins freely. Quote
xtremerevolution Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 I think the biggest point of this is to be able to install a turbo or S/C intercooler in place of your A/C's radiator, and to reduce your car's weight by however heavy that A/C compressor is. At the least, your engine would run cooler because of less airflow restriction through the engine's radiator and into the engine bay. Past that its just for weight loss, nothing else. Quote
Hairdo12 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 All you guys that removed your A/Cs...in winter does the car still defrost properly? My AC is dead, not removed and the defrost works just fine. Quote
Olds88Cutlass Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 All you guys that removed your A/Cs...in winter does the car still defrost properly? My AC is dead, not removed and the defrost works just fine. mine works fine too. if the outside temperature is below freezing the compressor doesn't turn on anyways. Quote
gp90se Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 I deleted my AC from my car ages ago, as long as your heat works well, you wont have any problems defrosting the windshield Quote
RedGTP Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 I have deleted the A/C on my 94' GTP .. the engine temperature rest coldest ! I have remove all pieces of A/C without the compressor .. (I don'T find a by-pass pulley), but I disconnected the compressor ... this still always off .. Quote
