I agree with Van, get rid of 'em. I work on my car myself, and I love seeing having that side of the motor free and clear. I haven't used my a/c in years (even in the TX summers in a black interior car) so that's not an issue. When I have my 17 inch Fikses mounted (245/40 tires) it can kind of suck without p/s, but you get used to it. When I move customer's cars with the p/s, they don't feel right to me. I guess I've grown accustomed to the non-p/s set up. I've tracked my R1 on Motorsport Ranch once since pulling the crap, and it definitely felt odd. There is so much more feedback now it freaked me out---definitely have to relearn the feel of the 7 now for road racing.
They say hindsight is 20/20, and I wouldn't change a thing.

its nice to have those things cleared out of the way, but you need to make sure that its what you really want, and what you really use the car for. You can't drive a girl around here in FL without a/c... **** doesn't work like that. I don't wanna show up all sweaty to somebody's house and ****. Its up to you. But if i were you i'd keep them. I can change my plugs in 5-10 min and i still have ps and a/c. Granted i removed EVERYTHING else so nothing is in the way.. but if you are mechanically inclined.. i'd keep it. Its up to you... its your car.

My wife had no problems driving around in the chicago summer heat (humid like FL) in the 7 with no AC (and no PS), but she's all into the windows down sunroof open experience of it all... She'd probably prefer a Super7-esque open top car even, or maybe a bike.
Driving isn't fun when it's in a sanitary compartment blocked off from the world, so even when I had AC it never got used, need the wind, sound, smell etc...
I'd just leave out everything, then put things back as you demand them.... so obviously the first thing to go in would be the engine and turbos, ecu, trans... you get the idea
just my $.02.
