OK I AM THINKING ABOUT REMOVING MY A C AND I WAS WONDERING IF ITS EVEN WORTH IT FOR THAT EXTRA GAIN? AND I WAS WONDERING IS IT A NOTICABLE GAIN OR WHAT? WHEN DRIVING WHEN DO U FEEL MORE PULL LOW END OR TOP END OR IS IT CONSISTINT. THANK U
I would like to know how to do it. For it clutters up my engine bay and I need the extra room.... any help?
didn't I just talk to you about that? Oh by the way for people who already did it he wants to know what kind of gain he will get but he forgot to mention he has a 2.4 L
I will just get a haynes manual and do it. thanks
Well, maybe a little. You have another pulley you have to go around. This pulley has some friction (how ever little it may be) putting a drag on the engine. And the weight of the pulley.
And I believe you have to have your 609 liscense to work on A/C systems.
Which I have
And Just so you're aware: If you disconnect one of those A/C lines without discharging the system, you run the possibility of freezing your hand (and other good stuff
).

so no gain if i memove it dut what if i put the gm delete pulley on still no gain? and what can u do so there is gain then
Taking out the condenser. So there is a straight shot to the rad. Or just gutting everything out. Prob 30-40 pounds of stuff.

....Really, i removed the AC out of my buddys Integra, and i didnt have no licence, lol
Good job!
I didn't have NO liscense when I remove the a/c system from an 89 tercel. That doesn't mean it's legal.

i just did it on my 97 z24
condensor, lines, freon tank, compresor-EVERYTHING is gone
bout 50lbs of CRAP gone!
the condensor is a joke to remove-its easy as pie-trust me, ANYONE could figure it out
as for the belt tension....im installing my external oil pump there-so im not having to get a delete pulley or idler etc etc

Just one tip, if you do remove it and have no desire to put it back in, a/c condensors, evaporators, and compressors go for big cash so don't do a hack job, keep it neat. any shop that does a/c will purge your system for you. if you do it yourself, just be friggin careful, wear goggles, as long as it's 134a i believe the proper proceedure for disposal is to vent it into the air, not the case for 12 though.

can somone please get me a how to on this.. i want to do it badly
I just purchased my first J-Body, and after the first week the A/C compressor took a s@#^%. I do not want A/C can someone please post links for the delete pulley and any other hardware I will need to make the conversion. Thank You.
i seen a post recently about how you can delete the ac without the gm delete pulley. i'll try and find it for you guys
When using the delete pulley is the stock belt used or is a different belt called for?
Well...as far as removing it goes, the first thing you'll want to do is take it up to Jiffy Lube or VIOC (valvoline equivalent) and have them vacuum out the lines. Once this is done its just a matter of removing the hardware.

I had to delete the ac on my z24 clone donor car (swapped in a LD9) cause base 2.2l's didnt come with it. I took the tensioner off and ran a strait 345k5 belt with some washers under the alternator, no squeals or problems and its been about a month.
50 pounds!!! hmmmm.... I won't be needing that all winter! lol

wow.. back from the dead
ecotec engines don't need a delete pulley, just a smaller belt.
its easy.. loosen bolts, take the crap out, vent the system before hand(make sure nobody's watching).
its def a good 40lbs at least.. so far as power increase? eh maybe due to reduced weight.. but the extra room under the hood is awesome
and don't think girls will wanna ride in your car during summertime either.. better have a daily cruiser with a/c for the ladies
Gerkn just did an A/C delete and he said it helped. it freed up space and lost some weight. as for the belt just get one from gm thats for cars without A/C. for how to do it ask Gerkn.
