Is it worth removing all the extra useless equiptment on the X14XE ?

Such as secondary air pump and all that which helps fuel economy ?

Ive seen a few engine bays with the smaller XE engines and they look really tidy such as Jr's. Or is that because its a c16xe?


^^clean and tidy


^^full of extra bits?

I also have aircon which is like a huge fridge which i never use, so that can go aswell.

If this stuff can't be removed and im talking rubish just ignore me.

Thanks,
Alex

the sai is easy to remove, do a search it has been covered loads on here. aircon is also easy to remove but you need to sort the wiring out a bit for the fan switch to still work.

also if you get rid of the aircon it may de value the car if you want to sell it.

leave the A/C in, you'll regret taking it out. its not worth the effort unless you're building a silly 1.6, and stripping the car.
