Anyone that has installed a vintage air system should have that piece left over.

I have a 75 with factory air.... wonder if that bezel is a generic bezel. I really don’t see a need for it on my car but I hate blank spaces. I might just make a backing plate to cover the hole .... paint it black and then mount it on the back of the panel
