Removing A/C

What all do I need to plug when removing my A/C? It doesn't work and I don't use it so I might as well remove it.

They sell an idler pull to replace the compressor. You might cover the ends of the hoses to keep dirt for the next owner.

if the clutch isnt siezed on the a/c pump, just leave it on. it will just act like a pulley and wont have any effect on anything. if ther is no pressure in the system the clutch wont engage and the pulley will spin as normal.

I'm trying to clean up my engine bay anyways. I don't plan on ever selling the truck so that isn't an issue. I'm just wondering if there's anything I have to cap or cover. I just don't want it to affect my heat.

A/C was an OPTION on these trucks. Look at the belt routing guide under the hood. It will show the belt routing for a non/ac truck as well as an a/c truck. Just tell the parts store you don't have it.
