If you remove the entire air conditioning system it(brackets, condenser, AC box from firewall, wiring....) it adds up to over 40lbs. 20lbs would most likely be just the easy to get to stuff under the hood like the compressor, condenser, and lines.

Yea not a huge drag racer but i never really used it in any of my fbodies because of the little bit of power it robs.

when i took my a/c out it came out to 34lbs under the hood. that was the easy stuff to remove

compressor, lines, condensor, evaporator, belt, bolts. i left that other thing thats stuffed inside the firewall alone

spare tire and jack was 35-40lbs if my memory serves me correctly

sway bar with brackets and bolts was a shade over 15lbs

air pump is like 7-8lbs

egr is a lb or 2

front pass seat without power anything is 34lbs

rear seats w/ seatbelts was 25lbs

console with crap in it is 9-10lbs

I pulled the A/C out of my LT1 when I did my cam swap during winter, First hot/humid day, I put it right back in. Screw weight, I liked comfort.

thats why I put mine back in before it gets hot lol. and no, its not really a pain in the ass. i keep my parts together in a box, and when the time comes, i bring the parts down install them and then recharge

I don't use my AC unless the windows fog up so if your car is your daily driver you may want to consider keeping it for that reason.
