Alot of us are pulling parts off our cars often, most of us probably have a reasonably accurate scale in our homes. It would be useful if whenever you pull a part off your car, before trashing, replacing, or selling it, please weigh it. Then post the result along with a description of the part including which type of FC it is for etc.
This shold get pinned or something so it can become an FC part weight archive of sorts, very useful for those of us trying to get our cars light without pulling everything out and weighing it.
cheers.

Well, since I have no life, I took the a/c off the TII today and weighed it . I had roughly 15 lbs. for the compressor, 10 for the front cooler, lines, and 2 pounds for the little fan in front of the cooler.
