Removing A/C pully

Removing A/C pully
Have a 1.8 bp engine in my kit car. I'm thinking of taking the harmonic damper off and getting the redundant aircon pully machined off it. This is not to shave a few grams but to give it a few more mm clearance from the chassis frame as it is extremely close.
Not sure how its constructed.
-Is the aircon pully part of the structure (ie. will it fall apart if I skim it off)
-Would it still perform as a damper
I nearly brought a solid aluminium one before reading how fragile the oil pumps are....

Not a good idea, since the damper material exists between the aircon pulley and the inner hub. What you want is a BHJ race damper: Race Special Mazda Miata & BP Series 1.8 L 4-Cylinder Harmonic Damper [MAZ-IB1.8BP-6-SP] : BHJ Dynamics, Harmonic Dampers and Specialty Crankshaft Vibration Dampers
