I'd just throw a switch into the A/C compressor clutch ground
or break the ground at the relay. Breaking the ground side
is both safer and easier. Easy because you just extend
the line inside then ground through the switch to the body
and safer because it can't short out to the frame.

Re: vent selector
 

Don't do it. Your compressor is lubricated through circulation. If left
idle all winter, it will be more prone to internal corrosion and seals
can dry out and leak refrigerant.

Re: vent selector
 

Hi Sandman,
Kalifornia new cars at least since my '78 Bronco have been using
the air conditioner with the heater/defroster, as a dehumidifier. And
I've disconnecting it and even in our dry climate it reminds why we used
to carried a towel. If you like to try it just disconnect the pressure
switch unusually on the accumulator:
