I hope its not necessary I yanked the damned thing out and just routed tubing in its place. I removed the ac long ago and just wanted to make sure that what I did is just going to allow the coolant to flow freely through.

 

You'll have the heater on every time you turn on the blower motor.

 

I did it, it is fine. I just noticed that the cool air doesnt really get as cool now especially without a/c. Its kind of luke warm since the coolant is going through the core constantly.

 

ok cool. I understand the air will be hot I just wanted to make sure from the wise ones. Thanks again.

 

if you dont even care about heat, just pull the two lines and put a coupler on them. no need to run coolant thru the heater core if you dont want heat ever. also one less thing to break, as sometimes heater cores leak.

 

^ ahh great idea. You have a pic of how that would be routed? I am in GA and heat isn't really necessary here. I stop driving it in October anyway.

 

just take both hoses off the firewall and shove them into something like this.




skip the heater core all together.

 

cool any idea the size? I can order the piece from summit anytime. -8 ish?

 

honestly go to a the pluming section of your hardware store and they have one that fits that line lol.
