I have tried searching but can't really find any good information. I was wondering if there was a write up or if someone could make one that shows what all I can remove and how to, with some pictures. Also does anybody know what belt I need once the ac is removed.

There's no good info because there's no good reason to do it. The AC only robs power when its clutch is engaged, so unless you're drag racing with the windows rolled up and the AC on, it's not hurting you.
And even though the compressor weighs a considerable amount, you're not going to beat your buddy in his Integra by removing it. You're not even going to see a .01 improvement in 1/4 times. It's not worth wasting your time.
Plus, the poor sucker that buys your car once you're done stripping it down and find out it's still slow, is probably going to want A/C and won't pay you as much if it's missing.
