Ok so the ac in the vette does not work... will removing the compressor assist in making (restoring parasitic power loss) more power?

If so... can i just yank the compressor and lines...and route the belt differently?

I doubt you will gain any performance but yes you will be losing a parasitic drain on the engine

wouldnt a loss of parasitic drain equal performance gain, however slight?

the gain will be minimal as the compressor clutch isn't locked...you are only turning the pulley not the internals

^^^This. Probably gain more from the weight reduction than anything else really.

Its like doing the free mods ot our lt1s.... 1hp here and 1 hp there wont ever be noticed but we still do it.

And well...i know it dont work.. the car is a wiring ...cluttered nightmare under the hood. if i get rid of stuff its more pieces amd wires I can get rid of.

I wish I was not so embarrassed of the wiring nightmare that it is umder the hood...Id take some pics....

IE: The ac compressor is on a switch cause the 85 mechanicals and rhe 96 interior did not get along.

Same with the hvac blower motor... i can adjust the temp from the co troller...but the controller cant run the bllwer motor...that got its own switch.... lol... and there is MORE!
