yeah that open end that you see just remains open and dangles straight down
when the AC is on, condensation is produced. it accumulates and drips out that hose and onto the ground under the truck

Yep, it will stay off, dangling down, thanks a lot, this place is REALLY helpful!
If I do not put the AC unit back on, leave the 2 hoses for it unplugged, and obviously dont put the belt on, will that cause me any problems?

removing my AC unit
I just finished a rebuild on my 1988 22RE. I want to take the AC unit off b/c I never use it. (I live in Colorado @ 10,000').
I see it's on its own separate belt that doesn't power anything else.
It's been discharged and I have the two hoses that go into the unit hanging down as well as the wire to the harness.
Can I just leave everything unplugged and run it, then eventually cut the hoses out?

I'd put a new bearing in the compressor pulley and verify the clutch clearance (which is what I'm doing currently) and convert it to oba. IIRC there are a few bolts that go thru the timing cover...

I looked into this a while back but never got around to messing with it. I might need AC this summer in New Mexico.

OK. So I just did my rebuild, I've never done anything more than a timing chain. I followed everthing to the tee in the manuals and double checked it.
It started right up, but is shaking (the whole motor) and seems to have low RPM's. Giving it a little steady gas will make the shaking stop and it sounds great. I've already maxed out the idle adjust screw.
Where should I start with the fine tuning?
Or do I need to go do a break in drive first?
ANY help, advice, comments appreciated.

Timing?
TDC was set correct from cam to crank.
Had to do some trial and error on the distributor timing.
Should I just do a break in drive and see if it improves?
