Ac + Smog delete power benefits? Mark vii

I don't really use the AC that much and will not be driving the car in winter so heat isn't needed. It is a daily drive but just because I love driving it.

I'm planning on removing the smog pump and ac compressor + all of the accessories for the AC it (works ok just needs a charge but like I said I don't really use the AC.) with removing those accessories and using crank/water/alt under drives what kind of at the wheel power increase should I expect?

any personal experiences, dynos? or just a SOTP meter?

I asked daggar to move you to the tech section.

I think you will get more responses there.

The air pump has been said to add about 5hp, but I am not sure you would see that much. The a/c will only save the weight (no power increase there).

Removing the air system can make is easier to change the plugs though.

No improvements in removing either item except for weight
