Default Pros and Cons of A/C Removal

I already have the short belt and was wondering what the pros and cons of removing the a/c are. Is it a pretty simple process?

It only gets into the high 80's maybe 15 days out of the year and that's the only real time that I use the a/c. If it's 75 or 80, I just roll the windows down and enjoy the fresh air.

So if I wanted to remove the a/c, what would I have to do? The compressor looks like it would be very easy to remove but what about the lines going into it? Will the short belt and no a/c help my performance any?? Is it even worth removing the a/c if it's only going to be a minimal gain?

I'm curious because I want to see if I can get into the 13's with what I have (including the 4.10's, DR's, and MAF). If I can do it with the a/c, then I'll probably just leave it in for now.
