I took out the whole A/C system. I'd be surprised if it was 10-12kg. The only thing that weighs anything is the compressor. If your AC works, not worth it.
Hope you have a cup holder. It was the reason I hooked my PS back up lol I only disconnected it because Ive never had it and don't really like it but went soft and hooked it back up.
actually the main one for making a difference was the power steering. I prefer the feel of a car without it and it is now way more fun to drive. Air con did feck all really just wanted something to do on a sunny day ha!
aircon is essential.. no matter where you are, from either defogging your windows or just plain stinking hot during summer time its like your in an oven. So would never take mine off.

Took mine out as when i did my swap i didnt have the right bracket/compressor combination. Since then, it sucked in summer BIG TIME.
Now my car isnt a streeter it doesnt matter i'd have ripped it out anyway for weight loss and to free up a little parasitic drag on the crankshaft.
I reccomend hunting down an oem ac delete kit as the condenser box under the dash is quite heavy and in combination with the brackets, compressor, lines and hoses, you're saving about 20kgs in total.
P.s. if u cant get a kit, remove the condenser box and open it up and gut out all the core etc and then TAPE UP THE BOX and re-install. Airflow wont be as powefull for your fan/blower but good enough and u save most of the weight.
