Thanks.. will definately flush the system before charging.

Can I continue driving the car with the condensor removed? I assume the radiator is mounted separately and isn't attached to the condensor for support in any way?

What should I use to plug the lines? I was going to buy some M8 and M10 bolts and hope the lines are one of those sizes. Thought I could plug the line by screwing a bolt into each one.. will this work?
