pump condensor, fans, radiator and pipework to the bulkhead are the easy bits. 
Dash has to come out if you want the rest out.
I weighed a Ford Focus aicon I removed ages ago, it was like 10-15kg

LOL well after going to all the trouble of taking your aircon out you'd have to try and justify it some way I suppose...
If you're that desperate to go faster, why not just run with half a tank of fuel the whole time. That'll take 20-30kg off very easily. Costs nothing and you keep your aircon. Or go on a diet. Although you should sweat off a couple of stone sitting in traffic jams next summer in 35C heat without your aircon! :-)

But the main reason people remove them and correct me if im wrong - but the air con is belt driving , there for uses a couple of the engines ponys to move the belt. So there for by removing the air con you gain a tiny bit off weight, and also should see a bhp or two extra lol . Done mine never looked back, cant say i noticed any difference but didnt expect to
