Not at all a good idea. An A-frame design works by carrying the weight of the top of one side of the roof down through the other side of the roof. If you remove one side to add on, the opposite side is at a grave danger of collapsing.
Having said that, there are ways to do this, but you really need a structural engineer to evaluate your current design to come up with a way to carry the weight of your roof down to the ground.
