Default Belt removal

Will removing the AC belt allow the engine to rev faster? It's like a 1-3 lb weight there for the engine to spin around, correct? The engine won't have to spin the belt around the AC either, which can result in less rotational mass. I don't want to take out my AC, since I could use it for the summer.

Is this safe? Can I still use cool air and heated air? Worth the time?

I imagine it would allow the engine to be a tad less restricted - but when the compressor clutch is disengaged, it really doesn't take much to spin the pulley - I can't imagine anything along the lines of a perceptible increase in performance... plus, it's nice to have the ac available for when the windows fog up and you want to clear them quickly.
