A/C: Keep Or Remove?

[blageo23]

The story:
Last year I had some problems with over heating due to poor air flow. I looked at my condeser and it looks as though it is leaking(small amount). I Have been trying to deside to keep it or remove it.
I know people say "you have a spyder you dont need A/C". But what about on those hot day when its a million degrees out wind doesnt help much. And what about if there is a female in the pass seat not wanting the top down(that probably wont be the case but maybe, just maybe).

So here is what im seeing
If I keep it:
The good:
Cold air when needed
Better to drive(more comfertable)

The Bad:
Restricted air flow
Higher underhood temps
Messy engine bay(cleaner without it)

Let me know what you guys would do for a semi daily driver.

I would ditch it. With a convertible it isn't as necessary as a hard top. I lived without it on a hatchback, so it isn't that bad.

Its harder on the car and motor. Get rid of it. I never use the A/C anyway, the windows are always done.

I'd keep it. You don't miss AC until it's gone (and it's 90 degrees and humid). If cooling is an issue you should look into a better raiator, cooling fans, water wetter, etc...

Of course I just removed my condenser, but I was having AC issues and didn't want to fix mine.

Keep it! I removed mine and regretted it.

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...:)

It was nice shaving the weight on cleaning up the engine bay. If its not your daily-driver then remove it, but if you do drive the car daily during the summer then keep it.

I'm daily driving mine, and when I go to drop in all my new goodies, I'm taking all that shit out. I have windows that open, and a sunroof I can take out, so that's good enough for me. I probably wouldn't even use it if I had it just cuz of how much power it takes away.

I keeped mine in the spyder I will probley not take it out. It is still nice to have when it is realy hot out or if the top is down in traffic to keep your legs cool

[Project2G]

I would keep it.
