Sorry I'm coming into this thread pretty late. But wouldn't you save from getting a smaller alternator? Like for instance my civic has an 80 amp alternator. And I also have an old 87 pickup (Nissan nothin major) that has a 40 amp alternator. And between the two nothing's really different. Neither of them have ac and it's very basic as far as options go. So wouldn't a smaller 40 amp alternator do the trick by Increasing mpgs and maintaining drivability?
