<![CDATA[V6 air con removal]]>Hi,

Is it possible to remove the air con from a '98 v6? I Guess you would then need a shorter belt? I am interested in reducing weight and mechanical drag..

Thanks in advance..!

I believe the belt size is 240 k5

I think I have the part number at home somewhere if you need it.

The only thing I would say is try not to damage any of the parts, if you ever find you want to put it back on, the AC stuff is expensive!!!

:D

It was 500 dllrs or more to re install.

I took off the ac condencer, ac motor and belt. Its alot of heavy stuff there by the way. All I did is at the parts store asked for the belt without AC and they gave me the correct belt.
