hello everyone I own a 1971 Plymouth scamp. I have had to clean the whole thing out because mice have made little houses all in my das and into some of the heater and ac stuff. I am planning to go without ac and just have heat. How would I go with removing all the ac stuff while keeping the heater working.

I also have AC and heater that has been taken out of my' 72 Scamp and would like to go with heater only. I haven't checked into what it would take to do this.
You really don't need to remove anything. If blend doors, etc.. work, unplug the compressor and done. Next summer you or next owner may want ac.
Even if you pulled the vaporater inside, the case still needs to function. Most of ac is under the hood.

Well how do you take the whole assembly how of the inside of the car? I need to deep clean the inside of the ac and heater box. And when i bought the car all of the ac stuff in the engine bay wasn’t gone. And there’s no vacuum hoses that go from the engine the the ac/heater to move any of the doors.
I cut this area out on the low side of the indented area on my car (circled in red). Then I cut one out of another donor car on the top of the indent so it overlapped my firewall area. I cleaned both to bare metal for a nice fit and panel bonded it in place. I then just put a non AC heater box in and the controls.

Don't do it. One day you'll want to take the car out on a 90* day.
Being your using panel bond Its easy to put it back . Or better yet get Classic air with all new parts. If its a rally dash car leave the original unit in. If not it doesn't matter. Classic air goes through the original non AC fan. Much cleaner system and allows for future gen 3 Hemi upgrade easier.
Not that much. Look at the firewall. Some studs coming through. I forget how many, but ?? maybe 5? The TRICK is the bolt over in the pass side vent door. There's a "J" bolt that goes up through vertically and hoods up over the lip up inside the cowl. Open the door, flashlight, and feel around. You'd be time / money ahead to yank the seat.
On a 71 the J bolt screw is under the box not in the door like 73 -76
You should get some manner of service manual close to your model. You may need a vacuum reservoir under the hood along with the related tubes. Pull the case and climate control. Hook up 12 volts, use some other cars vacuum if necessary. Make it work. New heater core, put it back. Nothing hard was ever easy. Have fun
This car, originally was a 318 AC car. Never put the compressor back on when it got the 340 in 1977. Still has the AC box. Heat and defroster work fine. I removed the vacuum lines that weren't useful and plugged them. It needed a heater core in the mid 80s so we removed the AC internals then.
A Mini Max , That is cool.

Install some Ospho instead.
OK, so what is Ospho?
