a/c to non a/c conversion
I am taking out the A/C on my 74. Would anyone know if the hole in the firewall is the same as a non A/C car. I would like to use a non A/C cover.
If the hole is the same what year cover would I br looking for and does anyone have one they want to sell or tread?

It is not the same size. There are people that make plates to cover it, something like acdelete.com. You can't use a heater outer box with an a/c inside box so you really need a whole setup.

It sounds like you and I are thinking along the same lines......I removed ALL the ac components off my 1981 and plan on making a steel block-off plate (no heater).
Later when I have the cash, I plan on a Vintage Air set up......but for now, just a block off plate.
My latest idea is to place the outer heater only box with a blower motor......thereby making it look stock even though it doesnt have heat. (Im in Texas) If I can find a cheap outer box, I'm going with this idea.
This pic is off my daughters 1976 heater only Corvette. I think the hole and mount bolts are the same for ac and nonAC cars.
