Default Can I run my jeep?

Hello I wanted to know if I was good to start my jeep and fill it with coolant. I replaced the radiator, condenser, receiver drier, compressor. I still have the plugs on the compressor while I wait til tomorrow to hook up the lines so my brother can pull a vacuum and fill it with refrigerant if it's good. Since the compressor is not plugged in and there are no lines hooked up to it is there any reason why I cant run my jeep

It should be fine if there's no way for the compressor to turn on. It's just a free-spinning pulley without the clutch engaged.

Yeah, just keep the clutch disconnected and any open AC ports closed/covered including the other AC components. This will keep any dirt, debris, etc from getting into the system.
