Cant really see the point in this unless your using the car as a track weapon.

Having no Air-Con gains you 50 BHP ..... it's well documented .....

When your stuck in a traffic jam sweating your nuts off I will be the smug git smiling at you cos I didn`t remove my aircon! what good is the extra 5bhp or so you gain from removing it when your stuck in a jam.

I thought with the rad and everything it was about 40 kilos

I may be wrong

In the fours year's I've had the car the aircon has had no gas in it, and I can't say the temperature sat in traffic jams in this country has ever been an issue

I have black interior and black leather seat, I need air con
Who said 50 BHP ? Its not like your going to have the air con on if your racing around the track. If its weight reduction your after go on a diet

Air Con is for the women ...... I demand simply pleasures to maximise my power output

this country never gets hot enuff for a.c unless ur a women inwhich they would use it but 99% of women have a convertable and if wer lucky enuff to get a hot day all the windows are open to enjoy it my a.c went straight in the bin found it saves a lil on fuel as theres no belt for it and less weight

Aircon comes into its own when you need to clear your windscreen of condensation. It's not just for hot days...

Having stripped my RB5 recently I know the weight of the pump and pipes to be 8KG.
The rad is light [1KG ish] so no more than 10KG.

Really, just for speed their not that fast, I'm sure there must be faster cars with air con than a scoob if that's all your after.
