Serp belt size to use if removing A/C compressor

couldn't find any posts on this topic in the archives.

Has anyone ditched A/C, and if so, what length serp belt did you use? Otherwise I guess I'll be doing some measuring.

Or, if A/C delete was a European option, would someone over there be so kind as to check the spec in your owner's manual?

also, anything that is held on by more than one fastener, I'm removing the extras. small, but they add up fast!

you could...

probably get away with only one windshield arm too

I also see in your picture that your cellphone antenna is still on as are your badges in the front. Jeesh, with all of that weight, I'd suppose you have your lower grills still installed in the front too!
