LoneWolf, you can "borrow" a coolant pressure tester at Autozone and pressurize the system without running the engine..

Out of curiosity, you mentioned that you can remove the entire HVAC system without removing the dash? If this is correct, it sounds way easier than removing the entire dash..

Also, instead of pinching the two HVAC hoses off, you may want to 'connect them with each other' to bypass the HVAC core entirely and keep the flow of coolant. Good luck with your project!
