Just got the car and I really want to start working on it, as in performance parts. The AC really kills space and I don't really need it but I would love to keep the heater. What would be the proper way of doing it, especially that I want to keep heat

 

What you want seems pretty straight forward, just remove the a.c. components belt , compressor , and condenser. Could also remove the evaporater if you wanted. Should save you some weight in the process.

 

Lel forget what I said previously, Completely missed the fact that this was a 4th gen and not a 6th gen.
