id just get 10bhp more instead of taking the weight out. it doesnt weigh a massive amount really. unless you take all the heaters etc out aswell and leave it with no dash.

I just got rid off all the aircon bits that were in the engine bay. I just left whatever is behind the dash as it is and just pulled the pipes off the engine side of the bulkhead. I would like to add that I removed mine because it was dead and was easier to leave it out anyway when the c20xe went in.
