Well, I don't have cruise, so I can only advise you for airco.

Remove the radiator so you can reach the condensor, thats the first to go (offcourse you might need to empty the system). After the condensor, start with the lines and the little reservoir (?) on the left. Follow the lines till you can't go further.
If you completely want to remove the system, remove the dash to reach your heater system. Take the evaporator (black) out with the incoming AC lines and replace it for a non-airco unit. In 4th gens this box is white.
Do not forget the AC pump (remove the belt that is using it) and offcourse the pump itself.

Mount your dash back in and buy an Innovative Alternator relocator bracket for your alternator. This bracket is used to bring your alternator to a lower level and for a cleaner bay look.

Look also into the manual to see which relays, pressure sensor and wires you can remove, if you'd like.

Cheers and good luck.
