If you remove the entire air conditioning system it(brackets, condenser, AC box from firewall, wiring....) it adds up to over 40lbs. 20lbs would most likely be just the easy to get to stuff under the hood like the compressor, condenser, and lines.

when i took my a/c out it came out to 34lbs under the hood. that was the easy stuff to remove
compressor, lines, condensor, evaporator, belt, bolts. i left that other thing thats stuffed inside the firewall alone
spare tire and jack was 35-40lbs if my memory serves me correctly
sway bar with brackets and bolts was a shade over 15lbs
air pump is like 7-8lbs
egr is a lb or 2
front pass seat without power anything is 34lbs
rear seats w/ seatbelts was 25lbs
console with crap in it is 9-10lbs

I pulled the A/C out of my LT1 when I did my cam swap during winter, First hot/humid day, I put it right back in. Screw weight, I liked comfort.

I don't use my AC unless the windows fog up so if your car is your daily driver you may want to consider keeping it for that reason.
