I personally hate AC in cars unless its 100 plus outside. I can't stand cold air blowing right into my face. Turning on the dash vents just make the eventually chill come on slower. I perfer ambient air myself. Until I get to a stoplight, then i'm in trouble. As a matter of fact this past summer stoplights were the only place I used mine @. Once I got moving again, power windows down, AC off

eh, I dont use mine.. but I know I'm not removing it due to the fact when I realy do want it ITs there...

I got enough of weight savings, on my car and IMO the A/C is not worth it..

I got a 6 speaker sound system, A/C nice tint... etc.. and I got about 200lbs saved on my car that the average stanger does not have.. (no subs though) IMO subs are tacky and ricey

My particular car was not re-assembled with the HVAC componants or duct work. I wouldn't go out of my way to take it out, nor would I go out of my way to put it back in. It's the best way on the planet to get someone else to drive long distances.

i had to take mine out of the old camaro to make room for the headers, and i didnt feel like relocating it, plus it helped on the horse and i never used it anyways, usually every car I own i take it off the rolla is the only one i havent done yet it's gonna be the good car, and once I get another camaro I most likely wont have A/C on it either

I had to remove my A/C on my turbo EG that I built due to lack of space. It was my daily driver and I hated it every time it rained. My hatch turned into a sauna. I'll never do that again unless it was built just for racing and I had something else to drive.

No A/C on the FFR. No heat or defroster either. Not even windshield wipers and it doesn't even have a radio. Power Brake??? Nope. I like it that way.

The ONLY comfort item it's getting is power steering. It's driveable without it with 225 width tires. The 245's I have on it now make it rough and I'm putting 275's on it when they're gone. It'll need it to be drivable.

Mine is off because of space.

I was going to try to fit it; maybe even get some pro to relocate it for me, but I prefer to spend the money to do some suspension work.

If I have money when I'm done with the speed and handling, I would definately put A/C on.

I would never remove A/C for weight unless it was strickly a race car -- Even on my weekend driver -- I still like the A/C in.
