The front end has been wrecked and I was just needing to know if I removed the whole AC system condenser and compressor etc, would still be able to drive the vehicle?

Hello, I'm Danny.

Yes, you could still drive the vehicle but you would not have any A/C function. If you completely remove the compressor from the engine you would have to install a dummy idler to be able to use the same length serpentine/drive belt. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
