My wife tailended someone and I had to replace the hole front clip. The only problem is I didn't get the ac radeator so I have nothing to hook the two lines to. I dont care about the ac I just want it torun asap. Can I just plug them off? The a/c compresser dose not have its own belt. The truck has a serptine belt

Thanks for the info. I dont realy have the money for a belt, and its my only ride. I thought that maybe I could hook the two lines together useing a peice of hose and a couple of hose clamps. That way the oil don't run out of the compresser and lock up ruining the belt. What is your thought on this idea? And once again thank you for all your help.
