Four interior heating/cooling system hoses

What is the function of these pipes?



From what I can tell, the two copper non-threaded ones are for radiator fluid and connect to the block. Do the other two silver threaded pipes connect to something AC related? If so, should I just cap them off if I'm not going to have AC?

Ancillary = Accessory. He's saying you can remove the AC and heater core if you want.

Hi Dave, how do i remove the heater core? Do i need to remove the entire dash unit? Someone told me that all i need to do, is to remove the glove box, and i can remove the core through that area. Thanks in advance.

i'm not sure about the RX-7 But my bro's little truck had to have the whole dash torn out before you could even see the darn thing, so take it easy label screws, cause you will not be able to remember where they all go, or atleast i can't but i'de mark them to be safe. and try not to distroy the whole dash. just dissemable it, remember what you take out has to go back in, so take it easy cause some stuff just likes to break without any precusor.

i removed the blower assembly, core via the glovebox to replace leaky blower housing. not difficult just watch your back while doing it. I had to arch my back to position myself and afterwards had a hard time. Got some mercy from me wife though!!
