I run a deep cycle battery and disable my alt (but leave it in place). Much benefit. And I still can have access to it when I go for longer trips than my daily driving. That's the BIG plus.

You could still remove the A/C for weight reduction. I removed mine for that reason. All depends on your taste and tolerance.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
