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?

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

Pretty straight foward might as well do the ABS delete while your at it.
