Joel i would say pull it if you don't use it or need it. that said there are a lot of people on this list that think having ac is a absolute necessity. i pull it out of most every car i own because i don't like it enough to pay the cost to keep it running here in the rust belt. nothing like designing a high pressure system that lives the salt spray out of aluminum. as for the resale bit i'm probably the exception to the rule out of the 13 vehicles i have ever owned i have sold 0, but i did give one away :). jonathan On Thu, 3 Mar 2005, Martine Boudreault wrote: > I have a 1989 Westy.
