AC Condenser?

What do I need to do in order to remove my AC Condenser? Can I just cut the hoses or do I need to cap them off afterwards? The system has already been evacuated so there is no issues there. I want to remove it for cooling issues, the fins are pretty shot and not letting air flow through them and I never use the AC anyway. Also if I remove the whole AC system is that going to effect my heat in anyway? I seem to recall a thread about someones heater not working after removing the AC? If I can just cut the hoses can I just cut them by the firewall and remove the whole system?

You can but first try to unscrew them, then cap whatever you disconnected or cut.

Not if you do it right. . Also there are various levels of removal, from just removing the compressor to removing everything including the evaporator plus replacing the blower housing with a smaller one which makes changing spark plugs a breeze.

Happy Racing!
