A/C delete cause thrown code?
Just like the title says i did an a/c delete a bit ago and the car hasnt felt the same since, was there anything i did that could have thrown a code? No check engine light is on but its definetly noticible difference, really weak acceleration and a couple times before the car was stalling out but after a second it would come back and wouldnt shut off completely.
The only things i unpluged were the a/c compressor and that thing that plugs into the line that goes to the condensor that runs along the passenger side of the engine that is actually like attached to the body of the car.

did you disconnect anything going to the heater box? there is a vacuum line that goes into the car that could have some effect. as to the compressor , no there is no effect except less drag on the engine when disconnecting the compressor. I'm not sure what other thing you're talking about that you disconnected. are you talking about the metal hoses that connect between the compressor, condenser, and drier ( looks like a decent size aluminum tube in front of the evaporator box?

The other one im talking about is a metal tube but its thin, it connects to the condensor on the passenger side, the thing i unplugged is just to the right of the coolant tank down on the body of the car.

if you can take a pic of it I'll be happy to try to figure out what it is and if there is any possibility it's affecting your car. the only thing that really needs to be disconnected when disabling the a/c is the compressor plug

Have you checked your codes...?
I don't think your A/C delete caused this. Maybe you did something else while doing that or just a coincidence.
Hows your tune up?
