Default A/C Question

Bought a 1988 XJ and lord and behold, the PO had cut out both of the A/C lines from the front to the firewall. My guess is that he was trying to get rid of the compressor cause it didnt work. Does this have any effect on how the heat and defrost works, or is it ok to go ahead and remove the rest of the junk? Any suggestions would be appreciated............

I know that my 2000 XJ has a defogger setting if set to heat. It used the compressor in this setting.

But I'm sure the heater will work fine on the regular settings.
