Ah k, tbh for the weight saving you'd be better off adding power, unless your gonna start to really strip it down .

Stripped mine out as it was leaking. Minor weight save but every little helps. And a free upgrade. One less belt for the engine to drive too. Tiny minimal effect on mpg and power delivery 😂 F1 teams spend millions shaving off grams so I reckon taking air-con out is equivalent of a million dollar mod.
