If you disconnect them all the air that is used to cool the engine will get dumped out the openings where the hoses were. Your engine will quickly overheat and probably die. If you have to keep them off then you need to seal the openings on the fan housing. I would recommend you get a Bentley or Haynes shop manual so you understand what you're doing when you make changes to the vehicle.
