Default Who has removed their A/C in their cars?

I'm tired of people thinking removing A/c is just for weight reduction or going faster. The only reason i removed mine was lack of space with the turbo i deciced to run. When i did have it i ran into overheating problems in the summer even with a bigger radiator. Do people actually remove them for weight? Because i can think of alot more effective ways to get rid of weight then giving up a/c.

Well if it is my "race car" and not my daily driver, why even bother with having to wire ac, or having the ducts, or having the weight or drag on the engine or the extra thing under the hood that makes it harder for my hands to get in there.

I'm going to remove it on my race car (once I get another daily) just to simpifly the car.

I dont see why you would remove a/c in a daily driver to save weight or go fast. Thats what making more hp is for.
