I did one a LONG time ago I did one on a 88 2.8 motor to do it was real easy pull the compressor and the mounting brace for it the by pass pulley uses one of the bolt holes the bracket is in. Can't remember much on hoses.

AC compressor only takes away power when AC is turned on.

Just to let you know you're not going to GAIN any hp by removing the A/C components. Also the weight loss will be negligible unless combined with removal of any other components. You may FREE up about 7hp or so but you probably won't notice the difference. The throttle kicks up a few RPM's when you engage the A/C anyhow. Google your particular engine and year for a good A/C Eliminator Kit and diagram on how to do it. GL.

Unpluggin the clutch switch is not going to throw a light. I have stripped out my project car of ac basically because I do like it. FYI: when you ac clutch is not engaged or your ac is not on it just becomes a pully.
