i would say pull it if you don't use it or need it.  that said there are
a lot of people on this list that think having ac is a absolute necessity.
i pull it out of most every car i own because i don't like it enough to
pay the cost to keep it running here in the rust belt.  nothing like
designing a high pressure system that lives the salt spray out of
aluminum.  as for the resale bit i'm probably the exception to the rule
out of the 13 vehicles i have ever owned i have sold 0, but i did give one
away :).
