Weight reduction continues!
The internet says the AC system weighs about 38 lbs / 17 kg.
I didn't rip apart the dashboard to pull out the evaporator though, so let's call this 33 lbs.
Also: not having the condensor in the nose will let my 1/2 size radiator work more efficiently because now it's got a front row seat for air flow.
Hey, maybe I can reduce the cooling inlet size further...
