When i put my car back together i was in a rush and didnt want AC or heat. Now since I currently live in VA and the weather is getting cold I want to put heat in my car. My question is, what do i need to run just heat??

how did you remove the heat? all you need for heat is heater core with a working valve, and the coolant hoses running to the thermo. -
Long story short I had an '87 vert. crashed it, bought an '84 318i, did the swap. left the AC compressor off because it was damaged. the '84 didnt have working air. Idk if it isnt working because the switch is bad or what not. But i do know that the heater core is bad, so i bypassed it. I have a good one sitting here, just havent installed it. So I'd need to do that, and get a the new switch that changes the speeds??Comment

AC compressor doesn't have jack to do with how your heat works. You need heat (heater core) and moving air (from the blower). Blower needs power (fuse, switch, resistor block).
So check or fix your heater core, blower, fuse, switch, resistor block, and the appropriate wiring and ducting which I assume is fine if you didn't rip it out.
I'm about to have to troubleshoot mine as well in the next few weeks.Comment

yeah no wires were ripped out. and okay i replaced all the fuses a week ago and all are still fine, i've got a new heater core, and I will check everything else out.Comment
