    Down side to removing AC?

    Is there a downside to removing the AC? Mine doesn't work, well it doesn't make cold air anyway. I live where it is wet a lot, so condensation builds inside the car from fall through springs. I know on some cars the AC system helps dry the air on defrost to combat this, is this true too on the Escort?

    Its true for all A/C systems. Its also part of the reason the A/C kicks on when you put it in defrost.

      Thanks, I figured as much. Just wanted to be 100% sure. I guess I'll keep it, it's a PITA when the car condensates.

        it's true but only if it is working AS ac . if not working it's a drain on the system and a power loss

          I used to pop open the rear quarter windows when I ran the defroster since I took the A/C out, it worked great and kept the car from being absurdly hot inside
