Looking for a DIY on a complete removal of the a/c out of a 328ci(m52tu)
What I'm looking for is a better power to weight ratio. It is my dd, but happens to be the first car I've ever had with a working ac so no tears for the loss of comfort. It tends to be colder in the area I live anyway.
I need to know all of the components to remove (obviously more then just the compressor) and if any custom work must be done after removal, to ensure everything works properly.
I understand that this will lose me around 50 lbs when finished, and also take a belt away, so I'm not sacrificing power for something I don't need.
Anyone done this?
