Re: Can anyone confirm this

what do you mean by delete your A/C unit? just taking off the compressor and lines? pulling the whole box out of the dash? pulling the controls from your dash?

First off, I wouldnt do it.

Second, unless you completely hack the wiring, box, and the controls, then yes the heater will still work.

I want to pull out the compressor and replace the unit on the pulley system with just a pulley I never use the a/c at all just the heat in the winter. Ill most likley just keep all the parts in the car so it would just be the compressor and lines
