    Default AC removal

    Sorry for the newbie screw-up. Please forgive an old man.

    I own a 91 M5 and 94 525i five speed (170K). I want to remove the AC from the 525 and I have been told that by removing the AC I'll lose the defrost. Is that the case?
    Thank you for you help.

    I believe that is true, why do you want it removed anyways?

    Kinda... the cars use the AC to dehumidifi the air.... it will still work, just not as well...
    If it cannot be fixed by the dremel or ducktape.. get out the sledge...

    I never use it in the summer and I would like to rid the car of the extra weight. Sounds to me I may have to keep it if i want to see the road.
    Thank you guys.

    It is safety issue.. so keep it. You never know when you want to use AC.
