You need to properly evacuate the system so all the refrigerant can be recycled. After that, you can basically remove/disconnect the hoses, compressor (I would just cut the belt...it's faster that way and the belt is cheap if need it later), remove the front bumper and get the condensor out, take the evaporator etc out...it's straight forward but does take time. I hope you live in Calif. or somewhere up north to even consider this.

Yes, you will still have your heater and vent controls... they will function fine.

You don't need to take the bumper off. Just take the radiator off.
Expect a "pop" of leftover refrigerant (definitely pay someone to evacuate it properly) when you crack open the first joint. Holding your breath might be a good idea. 
I took off the compressor, AC belt tensioner pulley and arm, lines, condensor and dryer? (the aluminum cannister near the washer fluid) I didn't touch anything inside the car. Heat is fine. AC button does nothing.
That weighed 27 pounds.
