I got to imagine removing the AC compressor and condenser with fluids has to yield a 30lbs savings. Nice amount off the front of the car, plus it allows the other coolers to work more efficiently. Heck for the wrench turner it might be worth while as a seasonal item lol!

31.06 pounds if you use this pulley, not counting fluids.

I see no mention of how to remove (or if we can remove) the actual condenser from the AC. I know its there, I see it right there next to my radiator everytime I pull the bumper for something. I assume they didnt put it on the install guide as a "obvius thing you should look up on your own?"

Because you can't
The angle of the belts will not allow for a shorter belt to fit

Yes it is an obvious thing. You can remove the condenser yourself. However, I don't think the total weight gain is 30lbs as mentioned above. I remember the AC compressor to be approximately 15 lbs and the condenser maybe 2 lbs. Nothing else weighted a lot. The AC lines for example were very light.
