Default A/C and Power steering, will taking them out do anything?

I was going to take them both out last saturday but I didn't really have the time. And I am wondering if it will make a noticable difference? I don't ever use my A/C. I was told it will help alot, is this a true statement and is it worth my time to take them out? I suck at spelling and using keyboards....so thats why I have a retarded profile name

The only time your AC puts a draw on the engine is when its running, otherwise the pulley just freewheels. The PS does put a draw on the engine, but IMO its not enough to justify removing it unless you're having issues with fitment of other parts. I had to remove both AC and PS for the topmount manifold i used to run. It sucks to get used to no PS, but you'll get used to it.

Cliffs: if its on a stock engine, dont bother because you wont gain much. If its for fitment, then yes
