I agree, wouldn't disconnect it unless you absolutely have to, but you can either unplug it as suggested or get a shorter belt and bypass the compressor altogether, again only a temporary fix, not recommended for long term use. I don't see where the compressor works any harder in winter than in summer since it's going to cycle in more than just A/C mode but I had a similar problem not long ago and didn't run anything and in my climate, like Rans said, the condensation was a pita to deal with while driving.
