Sorry, but big brother (or sister) has determined that decision is no
longer an option with common consumers as they are generally to dumb(ed
down) to make rational decisions.

Now, if you believe that you are truly not part of the sheeple masses,
you can buy a pair of wire cutters, hack saw and other assorted "tool"
of modification and rewire/reroute/redesign the system to suit. Not a
move that I would recommend though...

That'd be condensation dripping off your A/C. Perfectly normal.

Yep, the A/C compressor often runs when defrost is used as well as at
other times. It doesn't have to be hot outside for the A/C compressor
to be in use.
