My DG is shot and my vac gauge has been reading low lately.
My phone (or eventually a 660) is usually covering the AI/DG. I don't like having broken stuff in the plane or useless stuff taking up weight. The plane is VFR.
Option 1. Fix the DG and keep a proper six pack.
Option 2. Disconnect the DG and placard it inop.
Option 3. Remove the DG and save some weight.
Option 4. Remove the DG and AI and save some more weight, but then I only have the T&B in case I need to keep the shiny side up.
Option 5. Remove the DG and replace the vac AI with an electric AI.
Options 4 & 5 allow for the removal of the venturis at some point down the road.
Not considering a 275/AV30/G5.
