I removed every bit of mine--'83 SC that lives in New York, extreme heat rarely a problem--and there's tons of junk to take out throughout the car, from the evaporator in the nose, all the hoses, the stuff in the smuggler's box, and everything in the engine compartment. It's a huge weight-savings, and you're losing a junk air conditioner that Porsche should have been embarrassed to have installed in the first place. It's the a/c equivalent of an AM radio, and they were selling it at a time when a Chevrolet's a/c could make a tray of ice in half an hour...
