A/C Question? After Market System

If you still have all the original ac stuff from the car, that would be way cheaper to put it back. You can buy kits to rebuild it. I don’t think you can just use the heater portion of the box under the dash alone with the ac part (the ac part under the dash) removed. As said above, the heater will still work with the under hood components removed, as long as you leave the vacuum hooked up.
All that is left from the original AC is under the dash housing and condenser. Not much to work with if I went back to stock. I will move on to getting the car put back together then years down the line I will install AC. Thanks
