CA [CA18DET] Engine misfiring and hesitating at temperature, A/C compressor failing

Just got my 180sx from a dealership in PA, had it shipped 2500 miles to me only for it to misfire like shit with the A/C on when the engine is at temp. Also, the engine hesitates over ~3.5/4k RPM when it's warm, it just doesn't want to accelerate unless I lightly press the pedal down. The other day, I went to my friend's house after a ~25/30 mile drive on the freeway, as soon as I got out and went to the front of the car it looked like all of the oil in the a/c compressor leaked out. He said the compressor pulley wasn't spinning very good so I'm thinking that might be my problem. When the a/c is off the engine still misfires at idle but not horribly. The air blowing out of the vents with the a/c all the way cold is still warm, so it's pretty obvious the compressor isn't working.

I was wondering if I could just remove the a/c compressor pulley belt, maybe it would stop putting stress on the prank pulley and (hopefully) solve my misfiring, or at least make it better?? It doesn't look like anything else runs off the belt so it should be fine, right? I have a CA18DET, thanks guys
