Rear air con unit removal

Hi peeps bit of help needed here please.
I will be removing the rear aircon unit and replacing it with a Propex heater.
My question relates to the flexible hoses.
There are two, presumably a flow and return, hoses running from the unit to the gearbox. What is the function of these hoses and could they simply be looped out.


Ta.

One pair is the coolant from the engine which provides the heating, the other pair for the Air Con for cooling.

Hi Bongolia, I don't suppose you have/are removing the rear heating/air con control panel too? Ours is missing so I maybe interested if you are?

If you mean the interior panel then we will be re using that.
