'capillary tube' info. requested--I'm going in! 200 1983

Greetings,

Will soon go in and try to lube bearings on blower motor (for cabin heater) of 245DL.

Removed a/c condenser long ago to help engine cooling (more airflow to radiator). The a/c on the car is now permanently "dysfunctional."
A/C compressor is still in place as the power steering pump sits on top....
And dash rotary knob to turn system on is still in place.

My question(s):

When I dismantle the dash front panel, will want to get as much out of the way as possible and I know that "capillary" wire/tube (white in color, eh?) will be in the way, that is, remain connected to dash a/c switch which I'd just as soon leave in place.

Any advice? Never plan to have a/c ever again on this vehicle.
Is dash a/c switch NOT "electric" as it were?

Can I simply pull this capillary thing off the dash switch and stop worrying?

Old Volvos and a/c, not a good idea IMHO.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
