Does anyone know how much an air conditioning unit weighs including any pipe work.. was thinking of removing it if its heavy. I cant see it being really heavy, but I am stripping the interior.. seats etc so was thinking to get rid of that as well.

I just took it out because I wanted anything unnecessary out of the engine bay.
10kg is almost 1% of the overall car weight.
