Had questions on removing factory air

Most A/C shops will be happy to suck out the freon for free. To convert to non-A/C correctly, you'll need a non-A/C bracket and pulley setup for the engine. Usually most P/S stuff can stay the same, but, Alternator brackets, water pump pulley, and crank pulley are totally different. Technically, the water pump is too, but, sometimes they will work fine. Just take a short trip at first and note the coolant temp before taking a long/hot drive. Cap off and store all the A/C parts for future use or sale. You'll still need to keep vacuum going to the dash control if you still want to be able to use the heater/defroster. Same goes with the water valve for the heater. If you want a total non A/C look, you're looking at a whole lot more work, including changing or modifying the firewall and getting a non A/C heater suitcase, dash controls with cables, and various cooling system parts.
