Nah, I just know a lot of people who are and I listen well... and I'm pretty good at research.

I’m sure when the clutch is not engaged it really isn’t stealing any power away.

This one I researched myself. The evap canister saves a LOT of gas, especially in hot environments on a vehicle which sees a lot of movement (think gallons). The best solution to clear this out of the engine bay is to pick up a smaller unit (like the one from a Toyota Tercel
) and mount it inside the fender.
The main reason people delete the A/C isn't because of the amount of power lost at the pulley (you're right, that's minimal); it's the amount of weight the whole system adds... In my opinion it's better to build for another 5RWHP and keep it... you'll be happier on those toasty days and you won't eliminate half your potential buyers should you decide to sell it down the road.
