Cbrahs: In tight quarters I usually take the ball valve handles off, cut off most of them and sometimes (if room) even reinstall them upside down. (just to keep em out of the way). They still turn easy enough but in the closed position they dont stick out very far.
C Schomer Some very good points but the reference towards corrosion or sediment pooling in the core dont concern me since I routinely store my truck for months anyway.

The only issue is I leave for work at 5:15 in the morning and I have to turn my AC down about 3 to 4 notches each morning because the AC gets to cold. Now coming home in the afternoon I want it on full cold. So even on the outside air setting I still cannot turn it down early in the morning?

I don't want to have to mess with the valve twice a day. I never use recirculate on the AC so I will assume with running it on fresh air I could still control the temp with the valve installed.

With the valve closed, you'll not be able to change the A/C air temp. With the valve open, the system will function as if the valve was not there.
