Has nothing to do with timing. If you are doing this to gain usable horsepower, don't waste your time ruining the vehicle. The A/C uses no horsepower when off, and on some vehicles the compressor goes off under extreme acceleration. The power steering might use 1% and I wouldn't want to drive it without.

Was more looking for freeing up engine compartment space , heat distribution and air flow?

Maybe you could vent the hood or fender panels like you see on Vipers and Vettes, but I would keep the A/C and P/S.
