^might want to see a Doctor for that.

Side affects, yes, less drag on the crank, less wieght on the front end and a cleaner engine bay.

Is it as easy as just removing the pump and belt like on skylines etc or do you have to get a shorter belt?

You have to get a shorter belt and you should cap off the end of the lines going into the firewall.

Incase anyone comes across this for future ref

I just finished removing the aircon and its actually really easy.
I used the belt from a evo 7 RS without A/C got it from a parts shop here.

Most pain in the **** part is putting the belt back on which isnt really anything just fiddly and the other pain in the *** part is i had to remove a bolt from the exhaust to get the A/C bracket off. (after trying to get the bracket bolt off with a spanner.... i snapped the spanner doh!)
