The air con rad may well be very light but the air con pump weighs a fair bit and is sited well ahead of the front axle. I reckon you will feel a small improvement in handling should you choose to remove it, in particular, better turn in.

Do you know if the water pump is a metal impellor type?

Cooling can be improved in other ways. You're probably running the stock heat exchanger off a 2.5 engine. 3.0 166's and GTA's run a sperate oil cooler. The difference is the heat exchanger is exactly that. The engine oil is cooled by the engine coolant circut. This puts extra load on the coolant.

Its not an easy job to fit a GTA oil cooler set up. Subframe off as a very minimum and quite possibly an engine out job. There are some ancilliary components that will need relocating too.

Another option and its one I would favour, would be to do what Trackstar has done with his track car. Fit an extra high flow electric pump between the stat and the radiator on the bottom hose.

So gimmie more or nothin at all.
