Hey, pretty cool! We were just talking about this a few days ago on the A/C removal....

I guess with those weights, plus all the other A/C parts (compressor, air-box and stuff), I figure another 25 pounds? (is that safe to say?) so a total of 40 pounds for the A/C delete??

The 15 pounds was probably mostly the fan. If I get time I'll break it down and measure them seperately.

Its gonna be a little while before I get much more on here, but as I put it back together im gonna keep weighing parts

You posting this thread made me think about the 3.4 TDC engine in my garage that I am rebuilding. So I went out and weighed some items from it.

The block weighs 106 lbs
The heads (each) weigh 21 lbs
The cam carriers (each) with cams weigh 41 lbs
The front cover weighs 17 lbs
The intake weighs 17 lbs.
