Hopefully the system is discharged. If so go to the parts store and purchase some fuel/AC line dissconnects. There are plactic ones. They run $15 or the metal version $19.99.

Do it right and take it to an a/c shop. It's illegal to discharge it to the atmosphere.

there's no drag removed from the engine in 99% of driving, the a/c compressor has a clutch on it so it just free spins unless it's actively cycling, and even then if you go full throttle the clutch is disengaged so no power is lost at all.
