1989 300 te blower motor question...simple...

[Eliot]

I want to START to disassemble the heater motor system this weekend. Remove the blower and the other gizmo (regulator). Can I remove these items and still run the car? I would put back the wiper system, but leave out the blower and gizmo... That way I can test the units, remove the cages, and still use my car until a new fan, etc arrives. I don't have much free time, and cannot be without the car.
Any ideas? Are they both just plug-in units that run independently of the rest of the car? 1989 300te
