Is there a way to 'disable' or 'pause' Exchange 2003 SMTP Connectors?
Is there a way to take a current SMTP Connector and have it disable or pause?
Properties -> Delivery Options
'Specify when messages are sent through this connector'
Connection Time = Always Run
If I change Connection Time = Never, would that been the same as disabling the SMTP Connector?
We want to change outbound mailflow and we don't want to have to delete the old SMTP Connector while creating the new ones.

Correct.
Remember - If the new connectors match for other delivery rules. i.e. the destination domains etc.
Email will only flow through the new Connectors if the email being sent match the other delivery rules for that connector. i.e. if the smtp domain is * then it will handle all outbound email domains.

My goal is to change out all outbound mail flows.
Currently all outbound mail flows through old Iron Mail devices. I don't want to delete those connectors and have to recreate them if I need to roll back. Which is why I asked about pausing those connectors.
Then I would create new SMTP Connectors for all outbound mail flow to new Barracuda Devices.

why not just use the existing connectors and in the remote host remove the iron mail ip address and put in the barracuda?

The current SMTP Connectors are not configured in an idea way.
I could edit the current SMTP Connectors and add the Barracuda IPs

well you know your environment the best. If they are not ideal you could rebuild them. But if mail is working as intended to iron mail, changing the IP or editing the existing connectors is the easiest and safest way in my opinion. your only rollback would be to revert any settings you just changed.
