Absolutely! After we finished the holset swap on the TC, my buddy commented how much easier it would be to fab up a CAI to the holset if I removed the a/c compressor. Ummmmmm.....no. Black car+West Texas= mobile oven :flame:

Sometimes (especially on long highway trips) I wish I wouldn't have ditched my AC when I got the car. But, oh well. It was completely discharged when I removed it so probably had a huge leak somewhere.

First thing I did to my car when I bought it was fix the A/C. The car only had 47k miles on it but it needed all new lines and a condenser. Now it needs a compressor (still works but is noisy). I'll fix that too - even though it's only necessary three months of the year, I've gotta have my A/C

I had mine charged when I pulled it out of storage 2 years ago. Within 3 weeks it had leaked completely down. I had the seals replaced, but Im debating whether or not I want it. I know Im going to rebuild the engine, and when I do cruize I always have the windows down, so its no big deal if I dont have it, plus I have two cars that do, so IF I had to have the comfort the other two are just fine.

I've had A/c for 2 summers and this will be the 3rd. Not to bust your chops but it is really easy. Mine is all old parts with a new dryer, and O-rings. I flush everything with A/c system flush then install all new O-rings and the R134a fittings. Had a buddy come over and pressurize  the system with Nitogen to pressure test it. Then we put in the R134a. I wish I would have put in the Adjustable orifce tube. But I didn't the A/c works great. So I say stop bitchin and start working then you could have A/c too! I know everyone says use new parts when doing the A/c, But I'm to poor for that. Even my buddy that is certified tells me that buying all new is just to make them some money most of the time.
