Without AC, it is impossible to prove that every set is equipotent to an ordinal (in ZF !) and it is impossible to prove that a functor is an equivalence of categories if and only if it is full faithful and essentially surjective ; so I guess that a lot of things are wrong without AC, in particular concerning combinatorial model categories because very often we have to use transfinite cardinals.
