I don't follow, you want to remove the a/c compressor for more power? It won't improve "air flow" though. You'd probably need a shorter belt and the hose you could just plug. I can't say if it will actually work...

compressor no condenser and it sits in front of you H/E and rad and my condenser is all fup at the bottom from stuff off the road bugs. i would say it is blocking 15% of air flow to H/E and rad can i take it out???? i want to leave the rest so i could put it back and recharge if wanted!!!and put screen over big mouth on front bumper so that H/E does not get fup like the condenser.

you can run without the condenser no problem the compressor is fine running by itself so uou dont need to change belts. unlessyou ahve already lost the charge you should take it to an ac shop so they can properly evacuate the system and not hurt the environment...tape up the hose ends dirt will kill the system if u ever hook it back up have fun
