Default Defrost on a toggle?

Deleted my AC when I done my turbo build on the car. Car is about to go through another byild
once all the parts show up and was needing more room for gauges and a couple toggle switches. I would like to use the area where the AC controls mount to do this.

Since the car is still street driven, I have to keep the defrost. I was curious if anyone has ever ran a switch for it? For instance, set the fan on high, temp on high, and the adjustment setting to defrost and have it all on one switch. May be a dumb question but I've never looked into doing it. I'm sure you guys that drag race all the time have seen or done something like this before.

What are you using for defrost? Factory heater core, ducts, and blower still in place?

Should be no problem. Use a good heavy duty toggle switch, high speed blower draws some amps and will fry a cheap switch. A cheap switch could be used if you use it to control a 40 amp relay to power the blower fan
