Question Air Conditioning/ Power Steering?

ok, i was once told that by having power steering and air conditioning, was a loss of hp? n e one know if this is true or not,
i really dont believe this but if n e one could explain i would greatly appreciate it. i would understand if my ac was running while driving but not because i have it
thanks

search and you'll find information. Power steering and AC do cause power losses, yes. But is it worth it to remove them? not for 99% of people. If You Have them, the belts will have to turn them both, causing a loss of HP. on my 5th gen celica, with the AC on I could tell the loss of power, it felt gutless with the ac on.

Thats a Start

There is a loss of HP..but its so minimal that it doesnt even really matter. unless ur in drag, every HP counts..
