It would be helpful to know what you're working on (year, make, model, engine, options, etc.), and think about putting some of that info in your signature so it's always there to reference.

What block off kit are you using? Link?

Why do you want to disable the rear air conditioning because of a broken hose?

My air conditioning was also disabled when I bought the car, and it really annoyed me because the front air conditioning was fine, but when we went on vacation with the family, it got really hot in the back.

I then got a repair kit from the USA, which was basically a hose-based system. It was relatively easy to install. I simply attached everything under the running boards with cable ties and screwed it to the air conditioning unit under the car at the rear. I then installed it at the front, checked for leaks, refilled the system, and I'm so glad that I now have front and rear air conditioning again.

The car cools down quickly when it's really scorching hot outside.

I definitely wouldn't disable the system; I would repair it.
