I've got a '79 and figured, well, if the car is air cooled, then so shall I be...

I took the A/C out and along with a few other items lost 95lbs in one day. It was a long day--removal was a b**ch even with a lift, but well worth it for my car.

One thing to bear in mind: for me anyway, after taking out the full HVAC system, there was pretty much no going back. I could not imagine reinstalling all that stuff.

I've spent a lot of time in SLC/Provo/Orem and know it gets mighty hot there in the summer. One suggestion--if you have another car, drive it around with no A/C on, windows down, roof back and see how you like it. Have a significant other? Bring along and get a second opinion. I'm sure you don't want to make your Targa a 1 seater with this removal...which is essentially what my 911 is now.
