Ok so Im eliminating my a/c. I have 2 questions though, one is, what do I do with the little 3 way vacuum tree thats is on the pass. side firewall? and on the main vacuum tree just cap the a/c one right?

And those couple plugs on the main harness that are around where the condenser used to be....what can I do with those?
THanks

Did you get rid of your vent controls in all? That A/C vacuum source is for your cabin controls, not just the A/C. If you do not care about FLOOR, DEFROST, VENT, etc, then cap at the tree and do away with the rest.

Yep. You need source vacuum to your selector to drive the vacuum motors that divert air to the floor, vents, defrost, etc. Otherwise, air will only come out your defroster (default resting position).

Keep the line that goes from the A/C on the tree, to the tee, to the reservoir (gives vacuum at WOT) and to your controls.
