Left torso being especially worrisome as the only 'crit target' in that part is the AC ammo. Get a crit hit there, and you have a 75-ton fireball instead of a 'mech. Swapping out the AC for a LL gives you 4 tons of free space (Going from 8 tons of gun and 1 ton of ammo to 5 tons of laser, after all), so most people go for 2-4 extra 'sinks, and 0-2 tons extra armour.
