one less pulley to turn, so you 'free' up horsepower. you can see gains from a lighter underdrive pulley.

Less work for the engine=a few more hp to the wheels.

Well since it's winter, say by-by to any type of defrost because the defrost uses the ac to dry the air.

Disabled AC

1. To have some extra hp and to extend the life of the AC drive... good. But please don't forget that it's very important to turn the AC on about once a week to lubricate it's internal parts with the cooling agent (it's also a lubricant).
2. Defrosting system automatically turns AC on ONLY IN ONE POSITION (direction) - when air is directed ONLY to the windshield. Other positions don't use the AC to dry the air. So if the air humidity in your region is not excessively high, don't worry about. I usually choose "to windshield and legs" direction, and it works good.

That pully spins pretty easily when the A/C is

off, so I'll bet you're gaining abount 1 mousepower by doing it. Eat 1 less burger tonight, and you will gain just as much speed!
