Default AC Delete! It's time...
I've purchased a new serpentine belt(no AC). After I professionally get the freon out of the system is it just simply unbolting the compressor, AC lines, and condenser? Am I missing something?

also there could be a connection at the fire wall. this system looks like it going to be a PIA to remove when i have to do it next year.

I recommend plugging the lines going into the cabin so that nothing gets in there just in case you want A/C later on. If you decide to sell the car it will also make it easier for the next owner. Good luck
