Orochimaru, on top of having great regeneration, isn't really human. Just a giant snake made of little snakes.
So, the questions.
1) If Hidan got his blood and performed his ritual, could he kill Oro? Would it take more than the typical heart stab? If so, what does it take; a brain stab? Cutting off his own head?
2) Would Kakuzu taking his heart kill him?

i wouldn't go that far, sasuke did after all wait till he was strong enough to fight him, AND made sure to attack him at his most vulnerable state. plus sasuke still had the curse mark even after "defeating" him. and he supposed to be the strongest of the sannin.
but yeah, if hidan and kaz are serious, it could end fast.
He is certainly not the weakest Akatsuki, he just looked unimpressive towards the end because he was having serious problems with his body rejecting him.
Well the main question is does Orochimaru even have a heart? He does not exactly have the typical physiology of a human, it may take Hidan injuring him self significantly more than he would have to with a normal person but I think Orochimaru would die eventually.
Again, does he even have a heart? I don't think Kakuzu would be able to take his heart since Orochimaru is really some kind of weird snake made up of smaller snakes. The simple answer is you can only guess about the answer.
He joined his body back together when he was ripped in two by 4 tail Naruto, could he not do the same with his head? In that same fight he regenerated his body by coming out of his own mouth with a new non injured body. I'm sure Orochimaru could survive Hidan decapitating him self but since it's never happened I'm just speculating based on how Orochimaru's body has been shown to operate.

Naruto never canonically ripped him in half. He turned his entire torso into a bunch of snake looking things, but they were never physically separated or his body, meaning blood could still pump through etc.
The most Orichimaru has ever canonically grown back after losing it completely was an arm. There's no reason to believe that Orichimaru could live with his brain completely detached from the rest of his body.
Orochimaru is probably stronger than Kakuzu and Hidan, as far as fighting them as a team well orochimaru doesnt do anything with out kabuto so it would probably be an even 2 on 2 battle, but if he fights them head to head on a one on one, he could defeat them both, ... cause none of them presented any good fighting skills other than inmortality, cause hidan will need to cut him and not only cut him take some of his blood to perform the ritual and ive seen orochimaru bleed but technicaly that is not orochimaru's blood that's the blood of a person he took over so i dont really know how that will work... and as far as a fight with kakuzu, other than kakuzu attacking with all five elements i didnt see any impressive jutsus, orochimaru would probably figure out the heart thingy pretty fast and destroy him... to the comments about orochimaru being the weakest akatsuki... he left the organization because he couldnt have itachi's body cause he was weaker than him... but if i were organizing akatsuki in order of the strongest, itachi would be third, right under madara and pein... (cause i dont know how strong the weird half white, half black, plant thingy is or how strong paper girl is) but other than that orochimaru probably is stronger than the rest.
