how big the water would be after collapse ? what land will be lost ?

It's more than just a water level issue. As I understand it, the Amoc is responsable for warmer water cycling up to the coasts of western Europe resulting in warmer temperatures than they would normally get at that latitude. It would change the temperature and weather experienced there. Hank Green did a video talking about how it could potentially affect Ireland about a month ago.

I read a little, I haven't found any issues except USA gets it's east coast wiped with water. Maybe that's why they building so many data centers there, to change climate so water can refresh their data. That will be hilarious to watch to be honest I can live with that.
