Default Bypass help

Hey guys I have a 1985 ford ranger and the engine has been swapped with a 1989 302. I would like to bypass the heater core does anyone have any steps on to how to do that, or even a simple video would do oh ya and when you bypass the h/core do you also get ride of the heater blower motor too? Lastly the heater core housing ect. is still 1985 ranger parts not mustang heater core

If ,, you are having a problem with the heater core leaking and had no further need for interior heat/defrost all you need to do to by pass the core is remove the hoses to the core and with 2 hose clamps and a piece of 3/8 pipe nipple or 1/2 in copper tubing placed between the 2 hose ends from the core install the hose clamps and it will circulate through the hoses as usual. The blower will work as usual, but will only blow cool air. If you decide to do any repairs the hoses will always be there to reconnect if desired.
I may have misunderstood your question, if so please clarify exactly what you wish to do.

But the blower is the thing that seems to be leaking from the bottom seal, maybe its run off from the core. Can I just rip the core out and the blower motor out?
