mabye try piping it around the pipe...like a cooling duct around the pipe...
it may restrict flow and cause wierd flow charistics(sp?) at idle ect when the AC is forcing cold air into the engine...just a thought

The AC may cool the air 30-40 degrees max over ambient but by the time the air makes its way into the engine, thats even less so I can't see how having your AC on to do this would give you any power gains... not trashing you at all though, its fun to be creative.
When I used to drag race many years ago, I'd go with my cousin's redneck buddies who had their fuel lines coming into the engine bay and running through a cooler packed with ice and of course packed ice bags on their intake manifolds. Cool fuel? not sure if that's an old trick that works or just people thinking it helps.

You can actually buy fuel coolers, for just after the pump.
As for the AC, rather then route it to make it cool the air, why not rip it all out, and call that "weight reduction"
