With his consistent and a great hard court players year-by-year, I think Nole could have prevent Sampras from winning 14 slams and 6 YE #1. In addition to his clay prowess, he would add many more ATP points to keep Sampras at bay, as we have seen him done it for the past 4 years.
Agassi was great, but he was never consistent, and never stood much in Sampras way to glory unlike Nole consistently doing to Nadal and Federer. By the number, Nole has played Federer 36 times, played Nadal 42 times. That's 78 meeting combined !
So it's highly likely that Pete has to get pass Nole quite more often than against Agassi, one can argue that Sampras would have less achieved. Given that Sampras total ATP points wasn't all the spectacular in his 6 YE#1(especially 1998), that would give Nole greater chance to end the YE #1. Let's not forget that it was very difficult for him to get 3 YE#1 by fighting tooth and nail against Federer/Nadal.
With Nole minus Agassi in the 90s, my take is that Sampras would have won about 10-12 slams, 3 YE #1, and 150 weeks at #1.
