How much power do you gain from an A/C delete on a stock 96
A/C Delete
- Thread starter Marcello96
- Start date
I wouldn't delete the A/C, there is really no benefit to doing it. I only got rid of mine because the compressor was broken and all my lines were bad, and was quoted 800-1000 to have it fixed. So I just took it out since it was bad anyway. If my A/C was working I would just leave it in.

Is that the truth? My A/C has a leak in the system and will not blow cold but I do keep the vent on just to have air flowing throughout the car. Is it costing me gas and HP just to have it on despite no cold air? I guess it makes sense that even though there is a leak the AC compressor is still spinning.
ac 101
good ?s ......ok....for vent just turn the control knob to VENT not AC ....yes the compressor still spins but when the control is on VENT the compressor does nothing as it is pulling in air from outside and the air will only be as cool as the temp out side but u can make it warmer w/ the temp control. The compressor only works when the knob is on AC ( Providing that the system is charged ) as it will cycle on and off via the engaugement/disengaugement of the compressor clutch to the pulley on the compressor....if ur system has a leak and no freon is present then ur compressor is not cycling no there is no parasitic loss hince no loss in MPG

If you have it on the VENT setting its not turning the compressor on.
the compressor will kick off at WOT to protect itself from developing too much pressure.
If you have no refrigerant in the system the compressor will not engage no matter what setting the knob is on.
So no, you are not robbing power.

ECM kicks off. The ECM knows WOT and you want to go.VirtualSVT said:

The system pressure switches take care of the pressure.
Think about taking it in neutral up to 6500RPMs slowly without going WOT to make it kick off. Wouldn't that build to much pressure?
CRAP I can't spell.

wow i thought that it gave you some decent power, i guess im not doin this
