Can't say specific to Legend, but I did this years ago on a '78 Accord. I left in whatever the belt ran around [compressor?] so that no mod of belt and routing was needed. No problems -- ran it like that for about 8 months before it blew a head gasket, and I sold it to a mechanic for $200 and a ride home.

 

I'm curious as to why you would want to remove the A/C System....I hope your not looking for horsepower gains...

 

just turn the ac off for horsepower....most car people already know this but I wanted to make sure

 

well i was driving down the highway the other day and the belt on the AC locked up and smoke started pouring out of my car and i need a new compressor so i was thinking that maybe i should take it out since it diddnt work before anyways, maybe i will get better gas milage with less weight i dont know haha just a thought

 

just take the ac belt off

 

New compressors can be found for around $200-250



Contact 90Acura149k he's selling a allmost new compressor.


Make him an offer.



Trust me, taking all that **** out will only give you 30-35lbs at the most.

You wont see a difference, its not worth it.

 

I took the AC out of my Integra and all together it weighed only 28 pounds.

This won't make a big difference.

Alright ... well if i do decide to take it off will i have to plug the lines that come out of the firewall if i take out the lines too. thanks

 

No you dont have to.


You can just remove the compressor.

But you WILL have to have the system EVAC'd to get the old R12 out, be very carefull as R12 is dangerous to deal with.


Why dont you just remove the A/C Belt and leave the system alone?

 

Just cut the A/C belt. Thats what I did.
