I doubt that there is any more power other than in your imagination with the belts off. With non functioning AC, belt on or off makes no difference. Power steering consumes no power except when turning a corner. I would be concerned about emergency handling with no power to the steering. That said I would also be concerned about overheating when idling or going slow. How will the radiator get cooled? I may be wrong but that fan comes on when coolant temp gets over a set point.
