Larry Parker (And Luke) made some water-jetted A/C delete brackets.

If you're going to make money off Luke's hard work you should at least be accurate as to exactly how they were produced.

Lets not forget that the AC delete kit will add 0 horsepower (unless you carry to 7 sig figs), contrary to your Ebay ad.

You've got PM.

Ya, I told him when I ordered them that I would pick up 2 just to put on ebay and there they are. I was just trying to help him make the minimum number at first, but I guess by the end he far exceeded that.
Its just too hot down here in FL to run without the AC. Maybe I will save the other kit for a future "track only" car.

I forgot they were water-jet'd so I just changed that. Thanks for pointing that out, I had forgot all about that because the pieces looked so nice.

Edit: I just checked it again and are you sure you saw my add. I didn't mention a HP gain from using it???

My apologies, I didnt realize Luke knew your intentions.

You're right, you didnt mention a HP gain but it seemed implied from, "With this kit you can reduce not only the cars weight but also the added drag on the engine that comes with having to turn the compressor."

Small correction is that it doesn't spin the compressor, only the pulley itself because the compressor is disengaged via a clutch mechanism.

Again my apologies for my initial response.

I thought that you saved about 50lbs and you gained about 2hp.....which translates to about 1hp to the wheels? Which is pretty much meaningless but there is a gain...
