LOL'd. I always love your replies.

When I was 16, I got a '74 Chevelle that didn't have the optional A/C. Drove it for three years and just got used to it. Since then, I've been fine without AC, and actually prefer the windows down. My current daily doesn't have working AC, and the ones that did in the past, I never used it on. It's just something most people have become dependent on, but I never needed. I'll take my free HP, thanks.

As for PS, a proper conversion (or factory manual) facilitates much better communication between the driver and the road. It's actually not as much power freed up, but it makes for a better driving experience, but not for the faint of heart.
