Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly. The Air-conditioner is an accessory. Removing the AC compressor will only result in a non-functional AC system. It will have no effect on the safe operaton of your vehicle under normal driving conditions. One side effect is if you drive in a high humidity environment you may experience window fogging with the windows closed. Depending on your engine serpentine belt system you may have to get a shorter serpentine belt once you remove the compressor.
Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly
If you remove the A/C compressor and don't make the needed changes for the serpentine belt to still be installed, then no it won't be safe ot drive. You won't have any power steering for one and that would make turning the wheels extremely difficult. Since the water pump also need the sepentine belt to operate, your engine will overheat in a short amount of time.
