Will this do any harm?

I have a lot of things going on with the X right now (update pics coming soon) and was wondering if I don't block off the vacuum lines to the hubs right away, will that in any way harm either my new Mile marker Hubs or the vacuum unit itself?

Thanx...

your a/c vents will be stuck on defrost.

I replaced my hubs last fall and have not yet capped the vac lines, so far I have not noticed any problems, I'll have to check the A/C vent to defrost deal, but so far no issues, but have not needed A/C yet!

It shouldn't do much to your mile markers, BUT it leaves you open to get crud into the hub and bearing areas, which can't be too good.
