As page load time affects SEO ranking. In my site I am having some asynchronous JavaScript like AddThis, Google Translator which makes my page load time longer. I want to know whether is there any adverse affect on SEO ranking. I can remove these scripts as my users are also very rarely using these.

Crawlers are pretty good with handling JS now a days.
Page load times I think is more important in terms of User Experience and will effect your CTR as well many other engagement metrics which could indirectly effect your SEO.
Honestly though, I would not get too concerned with this unless there is a HUGE lag in page load. Instead focus on why people should visit your website. Do you have something on value for them? If you do, I don't think people will mind if your page load in 3 seconds instead of 2.
AddThis and Google Translate should not make your page load time THAT much longer. Have you tried running a few tests to see what the load time difference is? I would use webpagetest.org/ to run your tests.
