Question A/C Wrap?

Would it benefit a/c performance any, to wrap the a/c lines and/or canister with some sort of insulation, like cork tape?

if it was designed without it then it might make it worse. Change the fluid dynamics and cause freeze ups. Just leave it as it is and if you are having issue have it looked at

I don't have any issues with my a/c. It works great! I was just wondering.

It probably won't make any perceived difference in the cab. Sometimes when efficiency is really important, the high pressure liquid line (warm) and the low pressure gas line (cold) are wrapped together to exchange heat.
