HP gain from deleting AC

Anybody have any dyno numbers, e.t. / mph gains from ripping out the AC compressor and replacing it with the delete pulley.

Doubt its much if any at all, but just curious.

Zero. When the A/C isn't on, the clutch is disengaged and teh wheel spins freely. You only lose power when the A/C is turned on. Just be happy you saved 15lbs off the front of your car (up to 30 or so if you got rid of the rest of the AC stuff) and cleaned up your engine bay.

If it only adds 1 hp, it gets rid of a BUNCH of crap under the hood.
