Is this my AC compressor?

Hey guys,

I'm still fairly new to this vehicle and have MANY questions.

I'm going to be completely redoing my 84 F-250 351W, stripping it down to the bare essentials and getting rid of all "luxury" items on it.

I was wondering if the item circled in red in the link is the AC compressor for the cooling system? If so, can I get rid of it?

From research I've done this year was still taking R12 and I'm not interested in messing with that or doing a R134 conversion. I want this truck to be as stripped down as possible.

Thanks,
Dferg

Looks like a smog pump.

AC looks like this;

Look at the pulley to tell them apart.

Yeah, thats the smoke grinder, the A/C compressor would be up on the top drivers side.
