When the AC clurch isn't engaged, the AC unit probably draws about as much power as an idler pulley. The benefit to removing AC is the weight savings. If you get a short belt and bypass the AC, don't worry about draining it, eventually the shaft seal will start leaking and there it goes into the atmosphere.
