Default 77-82 NON AC 3 cable heater control

I can't seam to find any info on a NON AC 3 cable heater control for a 77-82 C3. I converted my 78 to non ac and picked this heater control up on Ebay. I would like use this to eliminate all of the vacuum for the heater. Any info would be helpful.

AC became standard with the 80 models. Your part would have to be 77-79.

Have you checked the AIM for an original part number and how it installs?

Here are some P/N:

upper lever # 364531 (Hard to read)
lower lever # 344881
face plate # 362535
base plate # 362532

Also there is a chevy symbol with the letters BC in the middle on the face plate.

The easiest way to do it would be to find the non air, inner and outer heater boxes. Most of the AC box, is set up to operate on vacuum. I really don't know how you could adapt the non air controls to the air heater box, but I guess it could be done.

The other advantage to using the non air heater boxes is that it will really clean up the engine compartment, and give you more under hood room to work.

I already installed the inner and outer boxes and all of the duct work. I did some research and found that camaros and firebirds have a similar setup with the 3 cable controls. I'll see if the cables and brackets will work.
