That's because everyone know it, and most of us would like
to keep our AC working. There is only so much room under
the hood of a SWB Jeep, esp when you go throwing V8s in
there, like many do. V8 or fake air compressor? Which
would you choose?

Ah, see, regionalism. I live in New England, where the thought of air
conditioning in a rag top is just a non-starter. Elsewhere, where it gets
much more sunny, I can see where _not_ having it is a non-starter.

I'm too used to seeing that half-acre of empty space under my hood, with a
tinsy wincy 258 making a little bump of the middle of it and only an
alternator to keep it company, I'm afraid.
