Ac delete questions

Im planning on getting rid of the ac tomorrow to further clean up my engine bay. Question being the two lines that come out from behind the radiator, do those get capped or do they get routed together with a short piece of tubing? Also if anyone could tell me the size plugs Ill need for the condensor area, that would be a great help. The belt is not a concern as it is a non serpentine system. Thanks in advance.

Re: Ac delete questions

If your ac system is complete and not open I would suggest that you have it vacuumed down first before opening up the system and removing anything.

Re: Ac delete questions

Yeah, it's complete. What is 'vaccumed down' is it pressurized?

All freon removed (sucked out, vacuumed out) its illegal to let it out in the atmosphere. If u have r12 in still u will have a hard time finding a shop to get it out.
