I removed my A/C last year, and now that I am cleaning up my engine bays wiring, I was wondering if I could just clip the wire going to the WOT A/C cutoff relay. Thanks

yeah, you make the circuit when your are at WOT so cutting the lead would not hurt. I did that on my Carbed engine works fine..

As noted, you can remove it.

FWIW, going to WOT actually opens the circuit. Power to the compressor goes through the common and N.C. terminals while at rest [during non-WOT].
When above ~3.71 TPS volts, the relay is energized and opens the circuit (shuts off the compressor).
