Electric A/c conversion

I want to convert may a/c system from the belt driven compressor to hermetic type compressor. Does anyone know the aprox btu output of a small cars a/c system. My guess would be not more than 8000 btu for my car. I would think that the 7 amp compressor could easily keep up. Of course this all arm chair theory. BTW I take 20% loss of economy running the a/c.
