A/C removal
Was wondering if I took all the a/c parts out of my z would it overheat I've heard some say yes but that can't be true. The reason it's coming out is it's no longer working and the weather never gets as hot as it did back home. Just need a bit of advice from ya guys
Thanks Chris

The a/c sytem is not connected to the Z's cooling system. But while removal of the compressor, condensor and other parts up front is relatively straightforward, you will have problems getting to the fan/blower underneath the dash. That's where it's connected to the cooling system.
I'd suggest just you just fix the a/c. Not only will it stretch your resale value, it also helps to clear fogged windows on certain cold days.

I'm in total agreement with DKMura, there is no way it's going to overheat as its not part of the engines cooling system. You'll also gain a couple of horsepower as well as the engine isn't hauling that belt round plus the weight you'll lose from the weight of the compressor. Unless you're planning to keep it until its scrap I'd also consider the resale value falling due to no air con.
