Default To air con or not to air con...

This may seem a daft question but has anyone stripped out the air con system from an S2? Is it an easy job removing the compressor and gubbins?

Not sure how much weight you'd save TBH 5kgs ?

I use mine in Summer, sometimes even roof down It's useful as well for clearing fogging windows in wet conditions. Can't say that I've ever had mine serviced.

Was AC only on import vehicles?

I guess so yes. My 01 AP1 certainly has AC but I don't know where the compressor is located.

PJL stripped out the aircon, have a search, he created a thread to details his mods. I think it even specified how much weight he lost.

All UK cars should have aircon. IIRC all cars in the Honda range had AC as standard in 2000. The compressor is in front of the rad near the bonnet catch IIRC.
