89 mark vii, BB gears/exhaust/intake

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.
