My air con has never worked. I might pull out the whole system. The manual says this can be dodgy, due to the pressure in the system. Anyone done it to their e30 ?

Illegal maybe, but not exactly dangerous, especially as there's probably very little gas in there.
Have you considered finding out why it doesn't work?

I would have though air con was desirable in Australia.

It is desirable, it just does not work and is heavy

The extra weight is hardly an issue for a road car, the complete system must be all of 10kg?
