I need to get my AC fixed I thought that it just needed a charge I did not have enough to fully charge it I got another tank went to add more and the compressor no longer comes on. So now the question is wait till next year to fix it have it fixed now or remove the belt.

Does anyone know what kind of gain or rotating mass would be removed by bypassing the AC pulley (not engaged)?

If I get it fixed I think that I will be reducing my AC disable TPS% to ~15% stock is like 80%. That way I will eliminate the extra loss going up big hills and let me know when I am using to much throttle.
