what are you guys talking about? resale value? i dont think he is gona sell his car anytime soon so thats not a problem. also when i removed my AC i freed up one extra ugly belt and about 80 pounds with everything out. I still have to take out all the AC stuff in the cabin. Hows that for weight savings?
get rid of that AC, it sucks and it will stopp working completely in a while. also, when the AC is on, it takes more power from the motor to turn the compressor, which burns more gas and wastes engine power. Yank that SOB!
if it smells, that typically means you got something growing down where water sits and it is blowing the smell of mold and spores into the cabin. you want that?
