AC Components Removed
I decided to remove the AC components after a few issues with repairs and leaks. There is a leak at the AC Compressor, which I don't feel like replacing. So out they go.
High and low pressure lines, along with the orifice tube. These have been converted with R-134A fittings.
AC Condenser was removed. Aside from the weight savings, this also improves airflow to the radiator,
which improves cooling. The next pic is the old compressor, along with a gutted unit that went in it's
place. The compressor is a structural piece for the engine mount, so it can't be completely removed.
Overall, removing all these parts saves close to 30 pounds (~14 kg) from the front end.
