There will not be any difference in power save for the 22 pounds of compressor you are removing.

actually someone one here has already removed an a/c and weighed everything and it weighed in at almost 50 lbs, i think, this was quite some time ago and if im not mistaken a 3.1l, but i mean hey with the way gas prices are going anything will help, its gotta be worth some ponies even 1-3 is worth the effort the car is almost not even worth it for power but being its our DD we need all the mileage help possible.
btw got that control arm fixed handles like a champ now
