Pinch off the hoses.  Remove the heater.  Connect the hoses to a tubing
nipple secured by hose clamps.  Remove the hose pinch clamps.  In other words,
shunt the rear heater circuit.

A hose coupling for this purpose  in the correct size might be available from
an auto parts store.

Do you really think the small amount of increased storage space is necessary?
