A/c delete: 0-1hp, pulleys: 5-10hp.

The a/c delete is done for a 40lb weight reduction and a cleaner/less cluttered engine bay.

between ac and my smog pump I pulled nearly 60lbs off the nose of the car. It also cleaned up the engine bay alot more also. I was just mad that the nose came up a tad, I couldnt believe that such a small weight would make a diff.

3 months out of the year in WA is not worth the weight reduction from pulling the A/C

5-10HP at peak for the pulleys - less than that at the lower rpm you're using on the street 90% of the time. No gain (practically) for the a/c delete/air pump delete. Some reduction of weight with a/c - smog delete.

If you've ever spun a disengaged a/c clutch, you'd know there's nothing to be gained there. With the a/c off, it just free-wheels.

I'm curious why you are interested in the 50# weight reduction and yet you bought a GT model

I say build a little more go juice to compensate and keep it cool.
