Been searching to find an answer to this but alas am resorting to the forum!
Doing other work and looking to gain some engine bay clearance for a while.
I’ve never had the belt on the A/C so it’s just sitting. Don’t care for the convenience of AC either so won’t be restoring it for a couple years at least.
Not sure how the tubing works and what it does. One tube is connected to radiator and other to vertical canister near passenger firewall. Said canister then connects to a plastic unit that contains the heater core.
Can anybody give an opinion on if the two hoses that hit A/C can simply be stopped/capped and that’s it? Or is there flow of coolant or refrigerant ongoing that can’t stop up?
