A/C Complete Removal

So before I take out my 318 and drop my 360 in place I was looking at ways to clean up things under the hood. And one thing that is going is the A/C unit and the hardware. But I notice that there are lines that go from the A/C unit to this little black cup like thing and to another row in front of the radiator. I'm probably way off on some of my terms here, because I really have no idea what I'm looking at! LOL

How can I remove the A/C unit without effecting the functionality of other things? The heater box doesn't matter either as I am blocking off the feeds that go from the water pump to the heater box anyways.
