For one thing, I hardly ever use the heater (i live in texas). I always roll with my windows down so I don't really need the ac either and plus, if i take them out, I'd carve a few pounds off my trucks weight. Also, I will be going for the extremely clean interior whenever i get around to it

HEATER AND A/C CONECTIONS. BYPASS THE HEATER CORE. DISCONNECT THE A/C LINES. PULL THE DASH. FEW BOLTS THRU THE FIREWALL. BUT YOUR LOOKING FOR A CLEAN LOOK, COULDNT YOU JUST MOVE THE CONTROLS TO THE DASH PERSAY. THE CLEAN LOOK REASONING DOESNT MAKE A LOT OF SENCE CONSIDERING THE BULK OF IT IS UNDER THE DASH. I LIVED IN TEXAS FOR TWO YEARS, USED THE PISS OUT OF BOTH DEPENDING ON THE SEASON.

I am talking clean as in no vents or ac controls.

OMG... now this is freakin weird. Here I am trying to search my old post about removing my ac/heater and it was exactly a year ago that I posted this and I just finished taken it out. I still have the compressor and belt to take off but the heater core, evaporator and condenser are off as of 4 hours ago. And I'm here to tell you that it was a bitch. But anyway, I have a question. What do i do about the connections where the heater hoses attached to the radiator??
