Thanks! I thought very briefly about doing an A/C system delete, but quickly dismissed the idea. I'm much more tolerant of cold than heat. I bet a delete would free up a tiny bit more power though, even when the system isn't engaged. Did you just get rid of yours because of the hassle of repairing/maintaining it?
