Dunno what part of Cali your in but I woulda left the ac intact not for the fact that it makes your wife puke but it aides in defrost/defogging the windows better and faster.

the only reason the ac compressor cycles when the defrost is on is to keep the compressor from seizing up over the winter months when it wouldnt be in use...

is there another reason jake why it would help defrost??

Dry air
That is correct.....
It pulls the excessive moisture out of the inside of the cab thus allowing the windows to stay fog free when the weather is inclement......
