1971 280SL Maintain the A/C?
The A/C never worked since the I've owned the car, and in Los Angeles, I don't really have any need for it since I only take the car out when the weather is nice enough to take down the top.
Now I'm having some work done on the motor, including a new water pump, and my mechanic suggests we simply remove the A/C compressor and leave it off. He says he needs to remove it to do the work.
My question is whether A/C adds any value to this car?
Appreciate any feedback.
TIA

Is this a 113 or a 107?
Regardless, IMO if you keep all the parts for the next owner I can't imagine it will matter.
However, if it's a 113, you might want to ask the opinions here:
