jonrjen is right, the AC clutch disconnects the AC compressor totally. Unless, of course, you are using the defroster, then the AC cycles.
If you want to try turning it off because of it cycling, just disconnect the two-wire connector going to the AC compressor.
Otherwise, it's the same thing as an idler or tensioner pully. And you already have two of those on there

Krewat is correct. Some years ago you could get and install a small vacuum switch that would open when you went to full throttle and disconnect the compressor, and when you let off, it would restart the compressor if its turned on. You would pick up about 10 hp by turning it off. Maybe enough to notice.
