From what I have read, all European SC's had A/C as an option from 1978-1983. I believe A/C was an option in the US between 1978 and 1979. It became standard in 1980. If you are SPEC'ing your car as a 1982 US version then I believe you would need to keep the A/C in.


HOWEVER, if you have some other bit of information that can show a US car was delivered without A/C for the model year you are building then I would think that would be strong evidence towards getting the delete approved by the scrutineers.

Lance is the right guy to get approval from, but having gone that route on some other issues, he doesn't know it all. There is alot of information out there and you are best to become your own expert and find proof to back up your car's configuration.

From what I have seen though, US cars in 1982 had A/C as standard. You can always run without the belt, so it just becomes a weight issue. That can always be lost somewhere else...

IF you do find you can ditch the A/C, take out everything. Don't forget the front blower and condenser. I guess that is all worth about 60 pounds...oh, the center console I believe was part of the A/C package so it can go as well.

Good luck, and if you are on the East coast, I'll see you out there.
