Turning an A/C Swinger into a non A/C Swinger

As far as the firewall goes, the heater hoses are in a different spot as well as the heater box mounting holes. I would try and find someone within driving distance of you that is parting out or scraping a non A/C A-Body and either get a cardboard template of the firewall or see if you can cut it out. You can use it to get what you need to make yours look correct, you may be able to get the whole box, switches and cables from the same car.

Aaarrggghh, what a pain in the ***. Looks like I might be ditching everything, not just the A/C! I never knew about this little quirk. Is this the same on all A-bodies? Guess I can just get a whole bunch of grommets to fill the holes that are no longer in use. Guess I'm saving more weight than I bargained for.

Hey Blowfish, can you or anyone else confirm if the A/C heater box will still function properly without all the A/C related stuff?
