Default How much weight does the A/C compressor weigh?

My A/C has not worked in my car for 2 years now. I figured that now I am taking out the engine I might as well remove the compressor. Anyone know how much it weighs? It is not fixalbe so it is just taking up space.

All that crap on your car, and the damn AC doesn't work? Before I start the "Rice" comments, get your AC fixed.

How in the hell do you tell some hot (no pun intended) chick, (Gee baby, the AC doesn't work....but uh...you can play Playstation and uh....look at the pretty strobe lights...."

Its simple you say roll down your window and enjoy or go home. I didnt have A/C in the Viper either, makes no difference to me, its not a money issue. If you think my car is rice that is your opinion, I can care less. I guess I can take it you dont have an answer to my question.
