If the natural humidity is low just leave a bucket with tap water inside, far cheaper than buying distilled water.

Retard ignition timing, increase the intake valve timing to lower the dynamic compression ratio (a VVT miracle), sure they know how to overcome it.

I honestly can't see the A/C system providing that much water, but I could be wrong. Also, that fuel efficiency increase is really going to take a hard hit if you have to use the A/C to refill the water supply.
What if it had an all-electric A/C, like the Prius?
