    On my 4.7 liter the water pump is easy to get to. All I took off was the intake tube from the air box that goes to the throttle body. As far as all the old lines, I just ripped them all out/cut them out as they were going into the garbage. The lines under the jeep all all out except for where the go up by the transmission under that heat shield. I just cut on both sides of the heat shield and left them up there. Won't hurt anything and they aren't going anywhere.

    My Google fu and part catalog lookups point to parts 55116718AG and 55116909AD for an rear AC delete. 07JEEPXK did you need more parts or just these two ?

    Hmm, fail at deleting rear heat. One of the parts must be wrong or there must be different mounts on the engine With or without rear heat. The hose doesnt fit

    Anybody done a heat delete with the hemi ??

    I have the 4.7 liter and just ordered both heat and ac lines for a 4.7 liter XK without rear heat and ac. Ripped out all the old lines and installed the new ones

    I'm a bit puzzled by the heater hoses. The short one has one regular hole and one enlarged hole. The other hose has two regular holes. Could this be right ? Im a bit reluctant to cut out the old hose and risk not getting the new one in. I'm considdering just cutting of the hoses that goes down to the wheel weel and put in a "blind" plug in them . It should do the same as changing the hoses.

    Post some pictures of the hoses you have.

    Dont put a blind plug, you'll run the risk of it blowing off when the cooling system pressurizes
