A/C question...

Hi, does anyone know how much weight will it add from putting in a A/C?? and is there a really big noticeable power loss?? cuz everyone seems to be getting rid of their A/C... my car don't come with one but sometimes it's really a pain in the summer... so if the price is reasonable and it won't make much difference in power then i'll probably drop one in... thanks

thanks... but how much will it be to get the parts+install?? anyone think it's worth it to put it on?? since i'm thinking it would be a bit strange to put money to improve performance in a car... then adding more money to it to take it away...

i'd like to take a hammer to it... and eventually it will be in pieces under my car.... i'm going to try taking it out again but i'm gonna take the front bumper off this time too.... that should make it easier to get in there
