Thanks

your car engine doesn',t seem to be controlled by a computer Wiki .



In that case removing the airconditioner won',t effect things much.



You may notice that the engine runs a bit fast at idle afterwards. A/C cars are set up to run faster while idling so the engine doesn',t stall while you',re at the lights. if the Mazda still does this without an A/C there's hard to find out it depends how it was intended. Cars with bigger engines are frequently set up to fast idle only when the engine is hot, but I wouldn',t think a 323 is like that.



If the car has an auto trans it may "clunk" a bit when engaging a gear from neutral. This won',t hurt anything. It may be possible to just change the idle down depends if they have a vacuum circuit controlling the idle on the carby or not.



Wouldn',t annoy me but i',m easy to eh

yes you may be able to only if it doesn't get in the way with the major drive belt. you could be better off cleaning out your truck to brighten your car.
