A/C Hoses Question

I took out the A/C blower box and my truck hasn't ran in a couple months so I want to crank it up and get the fluids circulated. The hoses that ran to it are unhooked, and I don't have the A/C pump. My question is can I crank the truck with the two hoses unhooked?

Thanks guys

I failed to mention I drained my radiator. So when I was filling it back up water started pouring out of the hoses. I wont have any money untill the 1st or I would have taken the hoses off bought the right plugs for the water pump. So I stuck two socket extentions in the ends of the hoses and clamped them down. So is that okay?

I did a little searching and I'm going to remove one hose and route the other one to the other port on the water pump.

OOOHHHHH! You're talking about the heater hoses, I tought you were talking about the A/C hoses.
That will work or you could loop one of the hoses from one fitting to the other. Either way will work.
