Anybody out there removed an air-con system from a Mini ?

I don't use mine at the moment, and don't really want to. If it's hot...I put the windows down and open up the rear ones.

My reasons for removing -
Make some more room in the engine bay.
Make it possible to change spark plug number 4 with ease.
Get rid of a bit of weight.

Is it an easy job ?
How many hours might I be looking at ?
Whats the go with de-gassing ?

Anybody in the market for a rover aircon setup ?

I've pulled it out of a Rover front cut & put it into a clubman, it's not rocket sceince, just a step by step procedure, take to a auto elect or AC place to get it degassed, and go from there.

I'd leave it in, but thats just me.
