2017 BRZ AC Removal

Hi, I am installing the Speed by Design 500x turbo kit and while everything is apart, I wanted to also remove the AC system so save some room for everything and make the car just a bit lighter. I don't personally ever use the AC so there is no point in keeping it! Now my question is what are ALL the parts I have to remove or replace? I know I have to remove the AC condenser in front of the Radiator and also replace the AC pulley with a Delete Kit:

So what else should I remove or replace or add?
I'm also a first timer at modifying a car or turbo charging it so please no bug words 😂

Why don't you use the OEM AC deletion kit? You can find it here:

There was also another switch, but I think you cannot change it in the yellow series. You have different switches.

Thanks a lot man, I didn't even know something like this existed! Subaru changed a lot of things in the 2017 and the Yellow Series which makes it just a bit difficult to watch guides cause they're all for 2013 BRZs...
Again thank you for this 😁

Ask Yuki if this part is compatible with the 2017 car (yuki AT japanparts.com). I don't think you'll have issues, but just to be sure.

Ok so he responded that this kit is the exact same as:

1. http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/suba...html#.WP6gnfny
And
2. http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/race...l#.WPqhjN33aEc

So far all I know is I have to change the pulley to one of these 2, and then remove the AC condenser and block the pipes on both sides of it. If I'm missing someone please let me know
