Well, the AC is run off of the engine using an accessory belt. By disconneting the belt, you are now rendering the AC useless. No belt -- no means for the compressor to turn -- less drag on the engine. Remove the 15 lb. (if that) compressor from the car. Frankly, I bet you wouldn't see a measureable increase in fuel economy, though. It's probably not worth it.
