AC Lines

Hey guys so I don’t know if this is the right section as it’s technically not engine but I’m having an issue working out how to remove the AC lines coming out of the bulk head. The previous owner removed the AC itself but I’m left with the plumbing’s. Has anyone got any idea how to remove these.
Thanks

Those connect to the evaporator behind the glovebox.

You can remove the airbox and delete the unit to clean up the bay. Pretty sure there's a suitable blanking grommet available to complete the job. There will still be a hole in the heater box which isn't ideal so you could fit the section from a regular non-AC starlet to leave it tidy. In reality no-one is really going to notice too much and the heater will still draw in air.

If I find one I'll take a few pics to show what I mean.

I fitted the non ac section after the fan unit to mine, relatively straight forward and don't need the dash out. Pics are in my thread :)

Yeh I’ve got the blanking grommet all ready. I’ve managed to loosen up the air box behind the glovebox but can’t seem to get it out.

There is a ton of 10mm bolts holding the blower motor box and the evaporator box in (you'll probably need to remove both). It's a bit of a hauling session as they are tight together in there. Taking the blower motor and wring out of the way helps a little.

There's 1 10mm right up in the corner of the dash you will need an extension bar for and rubber wrists :)

Finally managed to get it out!!! There’s a stupid little 10mm nut right at the top of the box hidden away that’s as stopping me from getting it free. Looks so much better with the blanking grommet there

I managed to get away with just the evaporator box but now that you say it, it probably would have made my life easier to do both
