Would I gain any power with teh AC removed? Excluding weight loss?

You may gain a couple more horspower. Because there is less stress on the belt to turn everything. Another way around this though is to buy a really good underdrive pulley. I beleive what i said is correct, someone can correct me if im wrong.

what is the belt number if you take out your ac? I tried looking up an acr at advance auto, and getting the belt number that way, but the only one they show is for an acr w/ ac.
