would it be harder to install a new AC system if the old one is ripped out already for a long time?

I have a hyundai excel 96 sedan. the AC is not working anymore. I will eventually have a new AC system installed but not now because it does cost some bucks.

I'm planning to have it removed since it's just added weight but I'm worried that if I have it removed now, afterwards when I would install the new AC system it will be harder since the old system was ripped out.

so is it ok that I'll have it removed for now then install a new AC system probably next year? or should I just let the AC system stay in the car until I have it replaced?

Keep the AC system in the car until you are ready to get it repaired. There's a load of parts to an AC system and some of them are hard to access, you are likely to spend much more in labor costs removing and then re-installing the system than any fuel savings from reduced weight.

  Absolutely concur! Plus, when repairing an AC system, there's usually only a few parts to look at (ie: compressor, evaporator, dryer, condenser, expansion valve, and seals), and then not even all of these. Trying to replace all the bits and pieces would be a total PITB and expense would be a LOT greater.
