Your power steering is used at low speeds, like when you stop and try to make a turn or maneuvering around a parking lot or even parallel parking. Removing the pump will make steering the car at low speeds difficult and require excessive effort. You could get a taste for this by just turning the key on, engine off and turning the wheel. You could also remove the belt and go for a very short drive since your alternator and waterpump won't be working. That will also give you a taste.
You should leave the power steering alone and accept the fact that your engine does not make much power. Your a/c does not have as big of an impact.
