Removing the thermostat will most definitely affect the performance of a car. If it's old enough to still have a carb, the engine will always be on the lean side, since the air is more dense, plus the lower temp doesn't atomize the fuel as well. If computer controlled, the ECM sees this as an abnormal condition, and either goes in the limp-home mode, or never allows the engine full power by restricting ignition timing and transmission shifts.

Why is your car overheating and has not hot air in car?
No heat in your car may be from your water pump going out and not feeding your heater core with enough water to produce heat. First remove your thermostat and see if your car stops over heating. If it doesnt, then you need to replace your water pump. Hopefully you havent cracked your heads. If your car doesnt over heat after removing the thermostat, but you still have no heat in the car. Then its your heater core that needs replacing. Always replace your thermostat whenever replacing the water pump.
