my a/c does not work and i plan on doing an LS1 swap sometime in the future. Is there any benefits of pulling the a/c?

slightly better flow to the radiator.. not going to free up any HP or anything tho, the compressor is little more than an idler pulley unless the clutch is engaged (when the a/c system is on and working)

not really if you know what you are doing, hardest part is swapping the heater box for a non-a/c box....
