Even if white loses the a3 pawn it would still probably be a draw. The general "rule" is that you need an extra rook's worth of material to win pawnless endings. Of course tablebases have found many exceptions to this rule, so maybe when the 7 piece tablebases come out it will be found that this position is a win for black ... but until then I would expect a draw here.
