Well I saw estimates as high as 100lbs and estimates as low as 25 lbs and being of a very curious nature and seeing that I am atm removing the ac/ps/and emssions I thought I would put a stop to the debate once and for all. I boxed all of the parts from the ac/ps system that were removed in the process and the grand total was 58.5 lbs! So there you have it!

thats cool. i dont have ps to remove, but i did take out all ac stuff. including cooler and the underdash deally. how much does just that weigh? i threw it all out, but it would be cool to know what it weighs.

I just realized I didnt take out the thing in the dsah yet (condenser?). I wonder how much more weight that is...

I'd really like to know how much that weighs too, and also the heating unit, because my car doesn't have those anymore

would it be leagle too remove heat where it gets cold because of defrosters for windows cause im thinkin of ripin it out (i could deal wit the caoat but it foggin/icein up could be a problem)

Bigretardhead

I don't think legality would be a problem... it'd just be impossible to drive when it gets real cold.... so I won't be able to drive in the winter

I just weighed all of my crap, not including the in dash piece. I don't really want to take it apart right now. It was a solid 50lbs...later

I currently drive without the heater core. The cold isn't always the problem. Sometimes the windows will fog up real bad. The windows don't fog up because of the cold though. They fog up from the moisture in the car. Rainy days are undriveable in my car. Cold days are driveable, if you don't mind opening the window every now and then to even the inside/outside temperature. Pulling the heater core is acceptable when you can live with your windows down in any type of cold weather. That it includes rain, snow, sleet and hail.

I didn't pull my heater core, I bought it that way. I will be putting the heater core back in by next winter. Its one part of your car that can actually save your life in more than one way. I will definitely being putting it back in.

I would guesstimate the heater core at 15 pounds. If you were going to pull the AC and heater core, you could pull the blower and thermostat controls also.

If you can handle a little more rotary and tire sound, the tar under the carpet is worth about 35 pounds.

pip

how do you get the tar off? I remember seeing it waaaay back when i first got my car but not in a long while.

you use dry ice to freeze it adn then just hit it with a hammer, large chunks should fall off hopefully

i did this too. what can i use to plug off the PS outlet and inlet lines?

ponykiller

Mine are not plugged, I just removed the lines and that was that.

the problem to leaving the outlet and inlet lines open on your rack is that there isnt any fluid in the rack to lubricate everything inside. No oil+gears=increased wear. and dirt and other impurities can get inside the rack as well and make it deteriroate even faster. -alex

for the handful of times I have had to drive my car when the windows are fogged up. I used a squegee to clear the windows off. after about 5 mins of driving the windows should stop hazing up the windshield. drving with a window down or partly down during those 5 mins helps too.
