This works, but I would also block the two open tubes left from the AC lines that go into the heater core.

im in the process of removing AC and retaining heat also, i have a question for the ppl who have done this. After I cut the AC box out i seen what looks to be a small vacuum line? Does this need to be plugged? or can you remove that line?

I can udnerstand wanting to keep the heat, but whats the point of deleting the a/c then? I took the whole thing out. MOST if not practically all of the weight removed was heater stuff and behind the dash ducting
