the only thing that's really beneficial about no PS and no AC is the less weight. that's it. it doesn't even make THAT much of a difference. not worth it in my opinion, but i'm used to driving with no power steering now. only when the car isn't moving is when it's hard turning the steering wheel.

so then wat the hell is it doing for me, other than making it a little bit harder to steer

your *** will be hot if it gets hot in your state
it will be a pain in the *** to turn while in place or whiel youre moving slowly
it is not worth removing if your car doesn't need it removed
unless you're running like a GSR swap why would you remove it it wont save MPG nor it will give you horsepower

The PS really wont do crap. It can make the car harder to steer. But makes it a little funnier to drive the car.

The only time you really see a loss in power from AC is when it's on. The pump always spins, but has a clutch. It will not engage until it's turned on.

Removing it will lesson parasitic drag, but you wont notice a difference. Maybe 1-2hp, if even that much.

In reality the only reason to remove AC in my mind, is because of clearance issues with some headers/ turbo setup's.

If it's off, just leave it. Unless you really want them. I like having AC for the few times a year it gets used.
