Removing A/C

[78 BIG TEN]

I already removed the compressor and lines. I want to take that whole box out on the firewall. Can I just use a old license plate to cover it up or does someone sale a cover for the hole?

I might be meaning something else then I wrote. The box where the AC lines came from has the heater core in it also?

Yes and it also has the blower fan for the heat/ac unit as well.

The AC evaporator is in the engine compartment and so is the heater fan. If you remove the housing you need to somehow get air moving through into the distribution plenum.

I can't recall the site, and I did a Google search and couldn't find it, but somebody makes a plastic piece that will bolt right up and replace the a/c box but still retain the heater core and blower motor. Anyone remember who sells these?

Just be like me and just plug it up. You never know when you just might want A/C back. I plan on putting A/C back on mine later on in the future.

But if your bent on taking it out, do it.
