Removing a/c and heater
Do that at the engine inlet (drivers side, below the oil filter pedestal) and at the radiator where the heater core line exits the radiator.
I did the same and had a radiator company braze a cap on the radiator lower hose to block that outlet. On the engine block, use a rubber bung meant for boats that seals the hole and has a screw to tighten in place, or you could braze/solder a cap over the metal pipe. Alternately, you could rig up a cut heater hose with a plug in it and hose clamps.
The two lines going to the core at the firewall can be plugged with corks or rubber stoppers to keep bugs/hornets from building nests in there, but be sure you evacuate it fully or you'll have a stinky swamp growing in there. Let it sit open for a week in dry air and it should evaporate completely.

I used these on the engine side for capping the water T
