Ac condenser toss or keep
I've read as many posts as I could find on the subject. I'm open to any links to more info but I'm just looking for more specific information on if removing the condenser and allowing more airflow has any noticeable affects and what they are? I know the weight reduction from the ac system itself isn't very beneficial nor is the power from removing the belt. I don't mind the opinions on how I'd be dumb not to have it and when it gets hot I'm going to wish I did.It's broke and it would be dead last on list of parts. So with all that hope to get some good feed back

It will give you more airflow through the rad...so if you are in a super hot location it should run cooler. It also decreases the load on the engine when it is running. You should ge marginally better fuel mileage
And you will sweat like a pig![Wink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
All depends on where you live and what the weather is like
I don't have A/C in mine...and it was 97F the other day....very hot when I stopped...but OK with the rear vents and windows open

I was expecting some of the typical Benafits. I didn't know if the condenser actually kept it cool in a way.? I seen the mod for laying it flat on a fabricated metal plate looked cool but expensive or requires tools I don't have. I live in Ohio so if we get couple 90 degree days I can survive haha
