Can anyone tell me is it common for a second set of AC lines (connected to nothing) to be present in a non-rear AC unit model?

A couple of weeks. Everything seems to functions as intended. I do know the offered a model with an actual separate unit. Just curious.how long have you owned it?
The previous owner said the AC worked well and I just had it at my mechanics for the once over before buying - he provided a list of maintenance issues to address and the AC or any codes related to its function were not present. I also had it on my ODB2 Sensor and didn’t see any codes related to the AC. Will it trip a code it low on pressure or Freon? Perhaps it’s was conveyed to the new R12? / R16? When bypassed or bypassed when converted - which would seem logical.im pretty sure that all of them in the us have factory dual ac coils and a lot of people have the rear one bypassed. You should see 2 High Pressure lines coming out of the compressor one going underneath the firewall and one going through it. If not than whoever owned it b4 u prolly had it bypassed. honestly ive thought of doing it to mine cuz i dont see a use for it.

I do have the button but no rear controls. The truck was in the North so I am dealing with the rust quickly. In fact next to the base line maintenance - it's the main thing I'm tackling. I've coated the undercarriage with lubricant and making my way around the trucks underbelly. The rust has been mostly confined to the wheel wheels. All that being said, it's not the worst undercarriage I've seen - all in all pretty solid. The frame is good and the tubs are good. I WILL TAKE YOUR ADVICE AND INSPECT THE BREAK LINES NEXT. Once completed I'll coat everything I can reach! Oh and yes it is a 1998 Lexus LX 470.Let's establish a couple of things before we go any further and this gets confusing.
You have an LX470....not Land Cruiser....right?
Do you have the Rear A/C button on the center dash area (see pic below):

And IF so....do you also have 'controls' in the rear drivers side head liner area:

Thanks Flint... I do have other things to worry about. LOL! Though I was curious - I look for the evaporator - I have the PS Side panel loose to do some minor body work on the back rear panel. I have plans to do the Belt, H20, Pump, Serp Belt and T-hoses next month. This is not a daily driver - so the miles will be minimal even after base line stuff is completed. She will be our summer camper / sailboat hauler replacing the beat down Jeep Commander.
