I already did that.

Before my trip to CoyoteX' for the newer engine, I ran the car for a month with A/C and got up to 49 mpg.
Then another month (even hotter btw) without A/C and averaged 55 mpg. (yes I realize this is in the range of normal fluctuations, try as I would however, I could not get into the 50's until I ran w/o A/C.)
At Ricks we did not put the A/C stuff back on the car.
With new motor and new trans and Xfi cam and no A/C the difference is amazing.
Just my .02,
S.
