AC delete
I rebuilt the TPI on my car b/c the guy who installed it didnt seal the gaskets and tightened the bolts he could. Is an AC delete as easy as removing the compressor and belt or does that belt drive something else? Its already apart that's why I have the question

Re: AC delete
What effect are you going for? If its just to "clean up" the engine bay then you can just unbolt the compressor and run a shorter belt.
If your doing a true A/C delete you'd need to remove everything from the condensor in front of the radiator to the evaporator in the dash.
Having said that, keep in mind your defrost won't work as well because its the A/C system that removes moisture (humidity) from the air thats blown from the vents.

Re: AC delete
Just a small clarification - defrost will still work, just not as well. You'll still get air out of the vents, but it won't be dry air, so it takes a tad longer (like the good old days).
Yes, you can remove A/C compressor - just make sure you still have a belt running the P/S pump and water pump. You can also remove the condensor in front of the radiator, and the evap canister in front of the blower box.
