Ford f250 ac

Question. 1970 f250 factory ac. Ac is out and can stay out. I will leave all in place for the next owner but do I need to do a bypass pully? My concern is if I dont, will I have defrost?

Do you know if the AC compressor turns on & off when you have the defrost on during the summer and it is raining like the new cars & trucks do?
I don't think they do? What happens now if you turn on the defrost? You should get air blowing out.

I don't have the AC working yet in my 81 F100 so I don't know my AC compressor turns on & off when you have the defrost on but I could have used it last weekend to clear the windshield.
I had to crack the door windows and turn on the defrost with a little heat to clear them. Not fun when it was pouring and 88* out but was best to see where I was going.

So you should not have to do anything with the pulleys just leave everything where it is and everything inside should work other than the AC.
If the AC system has no charge then to compressor will never turn on.

Then again I may not have understood the question?

Thanks for the advice. I'm struggling with the whole ventilation system and will be tearing into that in a few weeks. New heater valve and disassemble and reassemble again to get the levers to move to ac and defrost. A work in progress but I will keep you up to date. Thanks.
