Your A/C leaks or the vents leak? And what hoses are you talking about?

Chainsaw FTW.

the heater core does.. its seems like the a/c is bypass, but the heater hoses are still connected to the fire wall

If you want to bypass the heater core, you can just take a small piece of piping and attach the two hoses that run into the firewall together. Your blower will still work, but you just won't have any heat or a/c.

so basically disconnect those two hoses and make the connected right??

can i just remove the hoses and take off the whole a/c set up

Correct, just connect the two hoses together. Removing the a/c is ok too, but if the freon gas is still present, you'll need to have it professionally evacuated before removing the components. Otherwise it's just removing the condenser, a/c compressor, dryer and the associated hoses for it.

is this how you connect them to together, on to this piece??

yes!!!

im taking off the compresspor today. do i just remove the compressor. and thats it?
and what happens to that belt that i have to remove

My goodness son...

What happens to the belt you have to remove?

I dunno... maybe it will sit on your garage floor, work table, or maybe make it's way to the garbage can.

alright you dont have to get all ****en butt hurt

When in Rome. :D

I sounded a bit harsh, I apologize. You don't do anything with the belt since it only runs the a/c compressor. Just leave it off.

I get sarcastic when people ask uber-duper-super basic questions that can be answered by a Google search, or by flipping open the free FSM. But it's okay because we are here to help.:023:

alright man. my bad .. and thank you

one of the copper lines is still connected the the raidator.. so do i plug up the copper line??

its the a/c receiver drier and sight glass.. so the copper line is connected to the drier and to the radiator.. so do i take off the copper line and plug up the hole?

I believe you are talking about the a/c condenser in front of the radiator. Nothing from the a/c attaches to the radiator.

i followed the line to the radiator.. the line from the a/c drier

< in a nice, soft, tender voice >

I take it you still haven't opened the FSM or Google?

The radiator is not connected to the a/c system. Like Evan said, it's a condenser... and you remove it if you want to...............

Excuse me, that is a V-motor, he has a 280zx, which is an inline-6, his setup looks more like this:

As you can see, your AC lines do not go into your radiator.

>_>

I hope thats a joke :D

Dude mine looks nothing like that. But it does remind me of this around 4:00 mins in.......
