Default AC delete firewall stuff

Anyone know of someone who sells a panel to go on the firewall when you do an ac delete?

I have the delete pully, and condensor removed, but I'd like to remove the parts in the firewall and cover that up, but still have the heat work.

(would make #8 plug access easier, and give me a place to mount my ignition box).

I removed the box for my racecar build. It's just a rectangle...approx. 7.5x10 aluminum plate will cover it.

The blower motor is in the engine bay in that box. If you remove it, you will no longer have a blower motor. I did the same thing briannutter: just put a square piece of sheet metal over the hole with some silicone and factory screws.

Yeah see, i'd like to remove the AC portion to gain some engine bay room, but retain the blower for heat. On an fbody, you could buy an a/c delete box. I was hoping there would be such a thing, aftermarket, for the vette.

The A/C delete box was a factory part. I know the 1LE's used it, probably other models as well. Problem is all Corvette's came with A/C, and there aren't exactly a lot of people who rip the A/C out of their cars.
