To an extent. More range, more speed, beamforming. But are you really gaining anything in the smaller channel sizes with AC in 2.4Ghz? I don't know the standard really well aside from it's obvious gains. The main things, AFAIK, that are beneficial from AC are the increased speeds and beamforming. I understand where beamforming is important. And better range.
It would be interesting to know what can be gained from 802.11ac in 2.4Ghz but the main argument I have heard against it is that there isn't enough spectrum.
