Alternator was going to be in the way of one of my turbos, i could have cut the manifold, and moved the turbo orientation, but I like where is is... Plus, I removed all my A/C equipment, but didn't remove the condenser, and now that is gone too...

You made no previous mention of your car being a convertible, but still on those reeaallly hot days, it's nice to have the option of turning a switch for cool cruising.

Let me guess, teenager?
It's clear that you've never thought of the possibility of rain on a very hot muggy day. Yea, that never ever happens!
Also, the AC serves multiple purposes. In defrost, for the winter or summer, it drys the air so that the defrost does a better job.

Gee, even here in New England, we get a few 100 degree days a year. Yea, 100+ degrees, bright sunshine, no clouds, muggy, stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, all I can say to people in Verts with the tops down is SUCKER!

well, to each his own... 24 yes, some days do suck with out A/C, but then I remember I am IN A STANG! plus, it was by choice, and not something that just broke and I'm clueless to fix... It's the sunshine that sucks!!!! Man alive, it's great when you are moving, but as soon as you stop/ hit traffic, the sun will bake your @$$ in a vert!

Just what I was thinking...I had the same problem when I setup my blower. Had to cut the tensioner to make it work. Then I ran into belt issues.

I cant think of a more miserable place then being stuck in traffic on a 95+ degree day with the top down and the sun hammering down on you.
pack a spatula to peel your back and nutz off the car seat when you are done.

Agreeeed, that's why I'm putting a/c back in mine.....Being a mechanic and having to work on hot engines, greasy, and in long pants, it's nice to hop in and turn a knob and cool off.

Nice job, never woulda thought about putting it there.
