My unfiltered thoughts on AC in a sports car in general:
You're hot? Roll your window down and I'll drive faster. Don't like it? GTFO, it's my car  |
Spoken like a man that lives in Connecticut.
No A/C is a serious issue in a lot of places where the average summer temperature is 95 rather than 82.
So the advice is regional. If the car is a beater, it doesn't matter much. The higher you go in the market, the more it matters.
You can pull the compressor and the rear condenser in 15 minutes, and cuts some weight that is easily reversible. Pull all the hoses, and it is a whole other level of difficulty reinstalling -- mainly because you can't figure out where the hoses route, and the brackets screw in -- and you are opening a bunch of screw holes into the sheet metal to increase the likelihood of corrosion.
If it is a full on track car, no issue. If it is a street car at all, or you think to return it to that state at some point, an a/c delete is a hit on value.
