Default WTB Non AC heater core cover

Looking for a NON AC cover for my 1977. I removed my AC and need the cover that houses the blower motor for a NON AC car.

I have the inner and outer cases and most of the ductwork. The firewall will have to be modified to install the non-A/C system because the A/C unit has a different shape opening in the firewall. It's not a difficult job. If you want to have a heater and defrost system, I believe that you will need both cases because the two halves won't bolt together. Shipping these is somewhat expensive. Let me know if you are interested in both.

This is the part I am looking for. I was told that once I remove the factory AC cover and the stuff in it I can leave my existing heater core in there and just install this cover and bolt my blower motor to it. They sell them on Ebay and most of the other Corvette online companies. I was under the impression that this is a reproduction of the stock firewall cover from a non-AC car.
I just want to cover up the hole once I remove my existing cover. I am not removing anything from the dash side of the car.

As I posted, the opening for the A/C unit is larger than the non-A/C system, and again, I don't think that the mounting bolts will line-up. If all you want to do is cover the opening and are not interested in a functioning heater, use a piece of sheet metal to make a weather proof cover.

I covered mine with a fiberglass patch and Bondo. Looks great but I do kinda wish I would left the cover on. I have this one if you're interested.

Hey Frank, what year is this from? It doesn't look exactly like the ones I have seen online but they are repro's. I am definitely interested. Thanks.. John
