quick AC delete questions...

Hey guys, I wanna remove the AC condensor, compressor, and drier out of my 91 T/A vert for now since the AC doesn't work anyway and I thought I'd free up a couple horses from my engine. Can I get away with just removing those things without touching the heater/ac box? I thought I'd just plug the AC lines for now, speaking of which, where can I get plugs for those? I'm planning on reinstalling AC with functional parts eventually so I don't wanna replace the whole box. And is this Dorman pulley any good?

Thanks!

I pulled all of my ac stuff cuz it wasnt working either. I didnt have to touch the heater/ac box, just disconnect the canister and the hoses. I dont however know where to get plugs from. maybe lowes or home depot?

I've used that delete pulley on my 86 MonteSS. Worked good.I paid a lot more! You can just take off all the a/c line can cap them off. I'm putting the 1le box on my 92 Z28 to make way for my turbo swap. You can pick them up for like 50-80 bucks
