i ditched mine last year....this summer is coming up and i'm starting to regret it....but none the less to say...I'm trying to lighten up the car and clear the engine bay of any messy things...what kind of car is yours? daily driver, sleeper, once in a while drive, or a Beast!?!...hehehehhhee...:)

Well condidering that I have not driven it much in the past 2 years I dont know if is going to be a DD. Its kinda a "beast" I guess, built 2.4l.

But remember guys, keeping it would require replacing the condenser.

Does everything else inthe car work?
Is the car in good shape?
Are you planning on selling ever again?

BIG QUESTION cloth or leather seats?!
you don't want to stick to the seats...

I am in the same situation wondering if I should keep mine or not. Everything in my car works right now exept the A/C
I kind of like having everything in the car work.
I don't like it when a switch goes out on the car or half of my dash doesn't light up when the bulb is burned out. It makes the car look trashy...And I think having the A/C switch there but not work makes the car look trashy...

But my car I plan on making it a weekend hotrod now...so I am in the same vote you are... do I ditch the A/C making engine bay cleaner (plus I am adding a FMIC)

My girlfriend doesn't like riding in it when the weather is hot either and I can't take her top down...er I mean I don't have a covertable like yours (however i do have a sunroof!)

I would keep the girlfriend happy and work around that especially if you are going to be driving it often...

we got stuck on the way from we fest last year, sitting in 3 hours of stop and go traffic with the top down just killed us. when we were finnaly smart enough to put the top up the ac was a lifesaver on our sunburnt heads. after all that stopped traffic we still had another 2+ hours to drive. Im pretty sure we would have died without ac, im sure someone removing their ac will have an extra condenser for you to buy.

The car is in great shape, mostly everything on the car works, and it has tan leather seats. Even with AC I got MAJOR swass from the hot leather.

I'd say keep it. Try to fix the problems.
When those 100+ humid summer days come by, and the top is down and the sun is burnin the crap outta you, you'd wish you still had it. I tried driving last summer without turning the AC on b/c it created problems for my car, but couldn't handle it. It got too hot. Having swass is ok, but its better than getting out of a hot car and your pits and back is showing sweat.
Plus, the girls would love it if you had AC in the car. I've learned that they tend to bitch alot if I don't turn it on.

I think you have your answer

Leather seats + hot temps + no A/C = Major swass and girls pissed off!

Throw an extra electric fan in there and you shouldn't have much cooling problems
