Don't forget to run the AC in your car every few weeks for a few minutes.. !
This will keep the internal seals in the compressor lubed and moistened during long unused periods. Which in turn will keep the unit healthy.
Especially for us with manual climate control systems where the compressor doesn't automatically turn on.
The AC will protect itself by not allowing the compressor to turn on if it's too cold.. So no worries there..
Also enjoy the extra power that cold intake air provides and without the Drag from the AC!
