Default Need some help with a 97 civic cx

I have a 1997 civic cx hatchback. It has a D16 y7 engine in it. The car used to Idle at about 1000 rpm. Just the other day I removed all the air conditiong crap under the hood and now it idles at 500 or lower and sounds like it's going to stall. What's going on or what the hell did I do wrong.

You sure you didnt remove the fans to cool off the engine and now it overheats?

The only fan I removed was the one bolted to the condenser. The radiator fan is still in and works just fine.

500 isnt actually a bad place to idle at..

Did you remove something you didnt realize you did?

Yes I disconnected the battery to remove two lines that were located behind it.
