I'm assuming your problem is not VATS system because you're saying the power dies implying that there is a drain like the starter is connecting.
For the VATS, when you turn the key to ON do you see a security light for a few seconds which goes off as the VATS reads the proper resistance from the chip in the key?
After the security light goes off, when you crank is the click very light like a relay under the middle of the dash connecting? That would be the starter enable relay being permitted to connect by the VATS system.

Absolutely disconnect both battery cables and pull the boots off. You MUST pull the boots to see the corrosion. It'll be there. We get a good dozen cars a month sometimes with this problem. Much more prevalent in the winter (wet) months.
Clean all the corrosion, apply dielectric grease (liberally) and reassemble. It'* good to do the same thing to the power feed at the starter, the charge feed from the alternator, and the ground locations under the ICM at the same time.

I checked the VAT and the cables no good.
I pulled the belt to check if everything moves freely by hand everything but the AC unit i cant turn it at all could that be a problem not letting it turn over eating all the power trying to start to much drag on the starter.

Assuming your system is already discharged, removing the compressor is a simple matter of disconnecting the lines and unbolting the unit from the engine. A couple of the bolts may tax your patience, but it is not a tough job. If your system is still charged, take it to an AC shop and ask them to discharge the system for you. They will usually do this with R-12 for free or for a small charge for R-134a as the refrigerant is valuable and can usually be recycled.

Well removed the A/C compressor the only tough time was the removing the wiring they are hard to pull out. Lines and compressor were very easy to remove. Installed the A/C delete pullie. Charging the battery right now. I'm not putting A/C back in what should i do with the open ends where the hoses used to go. Thanks for everyones help.

Glad you found problem. My compressor pulley went while running and took out the belt and harmonic balancer with it. At least you found it before more damage happened!
Hey wait, you do have " damage" from all those replaced parts!
Ride on!
