Default Eliminating Air Condition

Guys, need help again,
I have a version with AC, I do not need it, that is the bottom line. I have refabricated the AC and blower motor box, now need to kick out some cables, can I stay with the standard relay or it will not work.

What do you mean by "kick out some cables"? And, I don't understand what you are asking. Can you rephrase your question?

Version with AC has some additional sensors and connections that go to the compresor and other parts in engin bay, if I do not have AC, I do not need them.

Tape up whatever wires there are and hide them, everything else you took out bag it and store it. The next owner may want the A.C. put back in.

guys, please, I am not asking how to sell the car in the future!
I have a specific tech question, not a general "what do you think"

It's very possible the A/C harness is a stand alone harness and if you follow all the conectors and wires, you may be able to take the whole thing out in one piece with out effecting other systems. I'm not positive but you may want to spend the time and look. on my '81, the cruise wiring and ecm wiring will both come out as one, that's why I'm guessing A/C is the same way. good luck.

Ok, so I just put everything apart, seams like the only thing that connects the parts used to AC is a light green cable, that could be kicked out. When it will be cut at the firewall averything goes out and you are left only with cables to run normal heating system
