Total A/C system weight
So I weighed the total AC system I pulled from my car today.
Approximately 40 pounds. Maybe another pound or two of refrigerant in there as well.

Just for those folks who might search it in the future.

Re: Total A/C system weight
From this topic... viewtopic.php?p=584171#p584171
Note these weights are not precise... I was using a bathroom scale (LOL) but it will give you a good idea!
A/C Compressor (including bracket and bolts): 17 lbs
Condenser Fan: 4 lbs
Condenser: 4 lbs
Receiver Drier: 1 lb
Refrigerant Lines/Pressure Switch/Relays: 3 lbs?
Cooling Unit (inside the car): 9 lbs
Total estimated weight +/- 40 lbs

Re: Total A/C system weight
@Mooneggs, I posted it just because I kept seeing on the facebook page that the A/C system weighed 100lbs
And even though the information is there, people will insist on seeing proof.

Re: Total A/C system weight
It's a sports car, not a race car. 40lbs is worth every ounce to be cool...specially if you drive a black car.
94' RS/GS/MS/CF Monster Turbo...coming soon.
93' GS SE, the Black Beast, the former love of my life...soon to be gutted and crushed.
94' GS, black on black, now in several small pieces...and one large crushed piece.
2007 Mazda3 GT Sport --- super fun
2004 Honda RC51 --- Lost forever to some theavin' bastard

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Re: Total A/C system weight
Yeah it's kind of nice to have another thread to link to instead of that one, bit too much crazy going on there.
And yeah, Josh, too much ricer math and exaggeration involved when it comes down to that sort of stuff.
