removal of AC condensers?

[lookoutworld]

Hello!

Just an idea... I may be wildly insane here.

I don't have functional AC in my Delica... nor do I need or want it. Would anyone like to entertain me and give some possible pros AND cons of removing the unused radiators/lines/etc. I probably wouldn't remove all the stuff behind the dash.. I don't really care.

I ask because I'm wondering if their removal could potentially buy my coolant radiators more air flow... and and possibly cool my engine that much more.

1) pros
2) cons
3) Are there any other reasons to have these in there? (connected to other systems, etc?)
4) If I removed them, could I hurt anything else?
5) Is this even worth my time?

Thanks!
-Scott

Removing the the AC rad won't give you more engine cooling air flow... What makes the flow through is a good fan/fan clutch operation and a state of the arts cooling system... You should just get the AC to work or leave it alone.. Perhaps the next owner may want it...

Pros!
Girlfriends or first dates always like a van that has AC's!
Nothing better than a cool van on long trips!
No sweaty arm pits around here!
Excellent selling features to have AC!

Cons!
Pain in the butt to remove.
Properly dispose of the freon once the lines are cracked!


You make your own decision Scott! But if I was you, i'd get it to work!!!
And good luck on your first date!!
