Removed and weighed heater
For you on a diet. I weighed with my digital scale, which is pretty close. Without the water, including the hoses, lost about 35-40lbs. Alot more room in engine compartment, and under dash.

Is this just a heater and no air? I used this space for my electronics. 4 msd system components, a coil, a remote starter solenoid and a whole bank of relays. I remove my passenger panel and everything is right there.

The condensor was on there, which is around 5lbs.
I had the same planes on putting MSD and other goodies in the unused area. Theres now nothing under my dash :D . Heater sure takes up ALOT of space..

Just don;t get caught out on a cool evening without it. Not being able to see through a fogged windsheild can be fun but still dangerous. :eek: Only reason I kept mine.

NEW: I just weighed stock Iron intake manifold. 41 lbs!!!
Compared to performer's 14lbs.
Iron water pump and fan = 19lbs
Iron caliper = 10lbs
I have more stuff to weigh, Ill post updates here
Edit: Fevre- That was my hesitation. It didnt work anyway. Ill just crack the windows if it fogs, or tell the passenger to blow on the windshield.
