If you can either cap the lines or loop the a/c & heater lines with barbed 'U' tube connections and a/c type worm clamps, you should be good to go. Make some hangers for under the floor. May be able to get these from a place that supplies aftermarket installed a/c systems.

Make sure you completely secure the batteries and add a fuse to each battery's positive terminal in case the positive lead shorts to the frame.

The heater hose up front that It's off I can cut there and plug it.and gut the heater lines going to the back.
If u have a link to the tool to crimp the AC lines that would be helpful
I went to 3 different parts store and they didn't have no clue how to cut or crimp or plug the AC lines....

And I already got 2 ANL fuses for the batteries

You will have to depressurize your a/c system, cut the ends of the lines going to rear air (I think they are rubber barrier hose) & plug the ends of the hoses. Pull a vacuum & recharge.

You will not be able to loop the hoses like you can the heater hoses since one line is high pressure and other is low pressure.
