Question Disconnecting a heater inside a bus?

Hello,

I recently acquired an old 1985 Chevy G30 mini/short bus, it was previously used as a school bus. It's a 5.7L V8 with a 350 small block.

My problem is this:
There's a heater in the very back of the bus that is mounted underneath the seat. I want to remove the seat (and heater of course) so I have a little more room back there. There are two hoses that run from the engine underneath the cab and body, and then come up through the floor by the wheel well and go to the heater.

Now in order to remove the seat/heater, I need to disconnect the hoses (this is where I'm having problems.) I was told there should be a shutoff valve, but I was not able to find one. I've never done anything like this before and I'm not sure how to do it. To the best of my understanding, I just have to cut each one of the hoses and then connect the two of them together to form one hose? Unfortunately (I know it sounds dumb) I'm really sure how to go about doing this...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
