I'm thinking about deleting the cold air conditioning in my car (1982 w123 om617.952). The reasons are that it is broken, I'd rarely use it if it worked, and it seems like it takes up more space than useless equipment should.

My heater and all vents work fine.

I have no idea (yet) what has to stay. I think removing the AC pump and cooler and refrigerant hoses would be a start?

i didn't see any threads on here about deleting it.

Any thoughts or experience deleting cold air conditioning from an OM617 are welcome.
