I dont think that you understand the lack of performance that you can expect from a light twin with only one engine working.

The climb will be very shallow when the aircraft is flown at "blue line " speed , above that speed and the aircraft will not climb and below that speed the aircraft will not climb and you run the risk of the speed decaying towards Vmca , on a good day dont expect more than 2-300ft/min ROC.

Light twins require far more in the way of stick and rudder skills than larger aircraft and a deep understanding of aircraft performance (or rather the lack of ) it is clear from some of the posts above that people expect far more in the terms of performance from a light twin than it can give.
