thanks for the info, i didnt think it would be much more then 1 hp, as the ac usually only cuts my mileage by 1-2 mpg average. But its still a cut, and the more other restrictions i remove, the bigger a cut it will be.

it would be nice to find an electric compresser to use instead of the stock pump, although it would mean mean plumbing, it seems to me that it would be more efficient then running a motor and pulley to the stock pump. It it need be that i do that, i will remove the ac compressor clutch, and fit an aluminum pulley instead, since the pulley would only turn when the ac was turned on
