Can I remove the AC compressor???? HELP
 

Can the AC compressor and bracket be removed in a “Stock G” club racer? Different opinions coming about this topic. Looking for at “G” racer with the answer…

BTW i have email Lance, no yet

No opinions needed, it CANNOT be removed for PCA STOCK classes...no way, nodda.

If your model came with AC, it must have at least the compressor/brackets installed, although the system does not have to be hooked up and operating...belt can be removed as well.

Hope this helps, I went through the same issues and take the compressor/brackets off for NASA racing. :D

While that's what the printed rules say, I have an email from Lance that confirms in G stock on 911SC's, the a/c CAN be removed as it was optional on the 78-79 911SC's.

For the 911SC, the AC was an option on the early cars, which is why they let you take it off. One of the nice things about G is in it's original form in '78, it was a pretty minimalist car: no sunroof, manual windows, no AC, manual seats etc. So you can remove all that stuff and actually have to add ballast to bring it up to 2550 lbs, the legal weight.
As a concrete testimonial since again you are getting conflicting direction: At Mosport last season the whole G car field went through scrutineering. There were numerous small violations, but no one was written up for no AC.

I have emailed lance, but have no responce yet.

Would an 82SC fall under these rules too??? Is it the

is it the whole G class or just the 78-79 SC's???

I stand corrected! :eek:

I know I went through this with my 911 C2...apparently all the models sent over to the U.S. had AC, unless it was an RS America or a Cup car, which those run in D class, mine was in F now E...but I run "prepared" in D with Big Reds, etc.

Yup, sometimes the rules are confusing, but I am allowed to run without the AC belt! :D

Reesestew, I'll try yet another answer to one of your questions, involving is the 1982 treated as a 1978 in regards to the rules. From what I have gathered, it is. You are allowed to do anything within your model series that was on say another year in that series.

I have a 1991, but in 1992 the 964 changed to "Aero" mirrors...therefore I am allowed to dump my "Flag" mirrors and put on "Aero" mirrors, same with the rear two-piston calipers, in 1992 they went to four-piston in the rear, so I can do the same. :)

Hopefully THAT was helpful?? :roflmao:

...I'm learning by the day! :rolleyes:

While we're on topic let me ask you about the front area, under the bonnet. I have the fresh air blower and the hoses (GREEN Area) I don't have the components that cover the other area (RED Area). can that area just be sealed off from the cabin or do i need to install those pieces? I also have the cardboard cover that goes over the equipment.

If we're talkin' Scruts looking at your STOCK class racecar, just have the front carpet in...I doubt they'll be looking underneath...but regardless, I would seal those areas up...look on the PET CD and find the plugs that surely accompanied a non-AC 911. :)

If you need help in that area, I'm just a PM away. :D

The Answer From Lance
 

Reese,

All the SC's can remove the A/C, it was an option for one or two years early
on and it got extrapolated into all SC's can remove it. A/C was standard on
all Carrera's, therefore they must have the A/C and all its components.

Hope that helps,
Regards,
Lance

Reese,

One more thing though, if you remove the A/C, all the components must be
removed, brackets, condensor, lines etc. No evidense of A/C.

Wouldn't all of this just lead to weight issues. However, on second thought, I suppose I'd rather have ballast bolted to the passenger floor than hanging out over the tail.
