buggy warrior Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Also has anyone plugged the outlets on the thermostat and water pump as i won't need these in doing the heater delete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 i would just T the heater hoses together personally, not sure what ill effects, if any, would be created from total blockage. as for accessory drive, mine is a factory AC delete so it just uses an idler pulley in its place. thats an easy fix. as for removing the heater core and all dash components, i don't see an issue, i would leave the blower fan in place, just because of the enormous hole it would leave, but the smaller foam bypass would be fairly easy to block off. just leave wiring in place and unplug everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 or you can keep the AC compressor and plumb for OBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Because of flow.. You will need to "Tee" or tie the lines together. I take it you are swapping to an open cooling system? Having a "tee" would make a good fill/bleeding port for cooling system fluid exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buggy warrior Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 My compressor is bad.the one is cool if i had a good one.the holes on the firewall have plates cut to fit.I'm waiting to weld them in.i plan on staying with the closed system as they seen to work fine.I'm waiting on funds so i can order that aluminum pressure bottle.if i understand correctly i need to "t" or "tie in" between the water pump and therm housing?thanks for the help.this project wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for all the great advice and help you all provide.

MJ_Milam Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I removed my a/c system, pump and all, and have no issues except I sweat my balls off in the summer. I found an idler pulley mount from an xj in the junkyard that goes where your compressor goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
