i live in minnesota and never ever use the AC so would it be worth it to remove it? i plan on keepping my jimmy for awhile so re-sale value doesnt matter to me at this point. will i gain any HP by putting a dumby pulley in its place? are the vacuum lines easy to remove? how long would it take to finish the job?


anybodies 2 cents would be helpful and welcomed! thanks guys

 

You are not going to gain HP. There is a bearing in the snout of the compressor that the pulley rides on so it is effectively a dummy pulley when the clutch is not engaged.

IMO, it is best to just leave the stuff there. If you do decide to disconnect and remove the system, have it properly evacuated first so that the refrigerant can be recovered.

 

Well if you decide to remove the compressor let me know, I have a bypass pulley that bolts up in the compressors place. I bought it in Feb and just recently took it off. I put my ac back on and no longer need it.
