Default Remove Rear Heater Unit

Hello.

I think I've asked this question before but I don't think I ever got an answer. I have a 2002 Ram Van 3500 that used to be a 15-passenger van which I'm trying to convert into a camper van. It has a broken heater unit located right in front of the left rear wheel well. I just want to get rid of it altogether, but I don't know where to start. I would assume there are pipes and hoses running from it to the main heater core in the front (??) Do I need to plug these? Clamp them off? Connect them? What's the best way of going about this? Thanks!

Access the tee fittings in the heater hoses under the hood. Remove the Tees and reconnect the front hoses only to the engine hoses. You can then drain the rear system, disconnect the electrical and yank it all out.
