Less weight, less stuff for the motor to turn and if you have a turbo car it makes it much easier to run intercooler piping later on.

ok, taking out the AC removes weight. is the power steering feature really that "heavy"? or duz it increase driving ability or help something specific other than weight?

Just one example:
