Crazy:

Removing the A/C will save about 50 pounds off the front-end. Hardly worth it - unless you're a fanatic. You decide that.

There are easier ways to save weight - especially if you just want to hit a number at the track. Removing the rear and passenger seats will lose near 100 pounds and is worth a tenth. They can be easily re-installed after you get home, unlike the A/C.

I would just use the short belt and by-pass the A/C which should be good enough and not condemn you to sweaty rides or lower your 'Stang's re-sale value.
