A/C blockoff plate
Has anyone removed the A/C unit and blocked off that area? Since I have the motor out now and have no plans to put A/C back in I was to get rid of that big unit and just make/buy a flat panel to cover that area.

Yes it is not cheap but it works. Or if you are handy look at the picture of it and look at what you have and make your own from fiberglass. But in the end I am sure you will find the price not that bad after all the work lol.

...when I made my old '75 L-82 coupe an A/C delete car(when I installed a 260hp crate motor and changed it over to a four speed car)I bought a nice used engine side non A/C heater core housing and using existing studs on the firewall, bolted it down. I then made a heavy construction paper template of the opening, then cut out an exact piece out of heavy sheetmetal. By the time I sealed and smoothed the edges, painted it and mounted the non A/C heater core cover, very, very few people could even detect what I had done. I even went so far as to install a '72 Corvette non A/C inner heater box, windshield wiper switch non A/C "CORVETTE" script bezel and the correct non A/C heater controls.
...I pretty much sold all the used old(some not useable)A/C pieces for what I had in mint/re-conditioned non A/C pieces.
...I just wished I would have kept that template that I used as quite a few people here could have used it in the last 6 or so years since I had done mine.
