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.

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.

When in Rome. 
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.

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...............
