Keep Or Lose Aircon?
Hi Guys.
A simple question. Do I keep it or lose it?
At the moment the air con pump gets in my way for my boost pipes and it would make life much easier to remove it. However I feel mlike im taking a feature away from the car that its supposed to havfe. What do you think?

I snapped 1 of the a/c lines trying to bend them out of the way to make space for the turbo pipes that why im considering it. I do feel that I should keep it but still not sure if its really needed been a soft top.
We dont get the glorious weather you get over in the US so cold air is not to much of a priority. However on the days we do get it hot it is nice.

Never had rubbing issues or anything to complain about and it was ***** easy to make. It was essentially 2x 90 degree L pipes and one 90 degree coupler. That's it. The outlet came right into the mouth of the car and joined the intercooler perfectly.
I hardly use my a/c, but I will never get rid of it because during that rare chance I use it, I'm couldn't be happier to have it.

Keep it.
I removed the aircon from my '92 when I lived in southern California, and never missed it. But as soon as I moved to place that had actual weather (eg: rain) I really wished I'd kept it for the de-misting function.
It does make routing the intercooler pipes slightly more difficult, but it's far from impossible.

I will wait for my new 45 degree pipe to come and see how the pipes fit. If it fits ok with the a/c still on then it can stay.
Viperormiata I had it setup pretty much like you had it but the pipe was catching the bonnet and rubbing paint off and lifting the bonnet slightly. I wanted to route it down as im using a T28 from a Nissan 200sx and the compressor outlet is really crap and doesnt allow for easy pipe fabrication due to the bend in it.

Its not a DD car but neither is it a track car. I use it in the summer months with occasional winter use. Im thinking keep it if the pipes fit with the 45 degree bend but if not I may lose it as its as tight as hell by the side or bottom of the a/c pump to get a 2.5" pipe. I will see if I have some pics of how it was and edit this post to add them if I find them.
