Two words, **** that.

Seriously, have been down that road and done that with the 89. "ohhh saves horse power" "ohhh less weight". Well yeah.. All true facts..weight being the better of the two sattements.
Will you notice the difference in power with the ac ON? Yes. Will you notice the difference in power with the ac OFF and the pulley freewheeling? NO. I know you dont, since I went that route with my 89.
Also if you have a later model 3rd gen, or a 4th gen that has one belt you have two options for deleting the AC..buying a delete pulley OR trying to find a new belt routing to bypass the AC. Using stock accessories that may or may not be possible. If you go the delete pulley route it is the same as having AC and just not turning it on. Again the only true savings would be the weight
In the end IMO having no AC on a car that is anything but a all out race car is pointless. If it works, keep it. If you want to have it and it doesnt work,f ix it. T-tops ROCK, I wont lie. Windows down are fun too, its one thing i miss from my third gen, as the 93 is a hardtop. BUT..I dont care who you are..when your driving along on a 120 degree day with the tops off and windows down its ok to say the least..however once you stop..sayyyyyyyy sitting on the parkway in shore traffic..it SUCKS.
However if you still want to take out your AC for watever reason..(and remember..chicks dont likeeee ittttttt) do yourself a favor..pull it ALL out and bring it to the scrap yard, the price of alum is high enough right now that with the condens/evap/lines and the insides of the compressor if your crazy like me are all alum. Might get ya a few bucks. I use the guy on midland ave in garfield just as a suggestion.
