Brass oil cooler lines under dash?

I am taking out a/c and stuff under dash and just messin around and i see these brass 1/2 inch lines coming in from the fire wall and it looks like they are for the oil cooler...they just come in and then go straight out, im guessing its running through the plastic a/c box thingy si would help cool while a/c is running...am i right...how can i get rid of them? can i just block off the routed pipe from the radiator and get rid of the hose that brings the coolant underneath the dashboard?

Those actually go to your heater core. When you turn on the heater, the heat dissipates from those coolant lines.

im talking about the ones that come to the interior under the dashboard right in the middle of the dash(slightly on the passenger side) and not the ones that enter into that huge plastic box that is right above the passenger's feet when they are in the car...are you still talking about the one i mean? sorry im a tiny bit confused...well i was on my way to removing all of it but i dont think i can without re routing or blocking off some line right?

no oil cooler lines under the dash. They are the coolant lines going to the heater core, as mentioned before.

Could these be the A/C condenser lines?

The condenser is in the front of the car. Why would its lines go under the dash?

to the evaporator under the dash, but they would be aluminum more than likely.
