Mk2 Clio 172 - air conditioning removal

[#1Matt172]

Hello, I am wanting to remove the air conditioning unit from my 2002 clio 172 and I'm getting confused, do I need a air con delete kit??

Depends why you want to remove it. The cheapest method is to remove everything but leave the pump in place. If you want to save more weight then gut all the internals from this as well so it’s just a shell with pulley. To remove the pump entirely then yes you need a kit to enable a shorter belt etc.

Ahh right yeah it's weight saving, trying to turn my car in to tack and road legal, been told to remove the air con will save Wight and gain hp however looking very expensive with this delete kit I need, looking to do this part cheap as I can really for just removing air con and spending money on the good stuff ha.

Take your socks off. It'll do about as much use for the power:weight.

Fcuk having no AC.

I'm selling the bits for the WRC delete. Fitted, started car on drive run upto temp then removed. Virtually new.

Hi all, my aircon has been removed on my 172. Quick question, even though the aircon pump doesn't exist anymore, will the car run differently when the A/C button is pressed? i.e does the ecu knock back the timing or make it run richer etc?
