Just finished taking the heater box out, it took much longer than I thought, does anyone know if the HVAC delete plate goes on from the inside or the outside, I did a few searches but couldn't really find a straight answer...

I was wondering the same thing. I haven't put my plate on yet,or dash back in. I guess my question is how hard would it be to take my plate off from the inside with the dash back in the car? I am thinking not to put some top screws back in so I can get to the bottom screws easier so I can work on the back part of the motor from inside the car.

Alright, more questions, I'm an idiot and thought I could thread the stock screws into nothing. I'm going to put the plate on from the inside, then I'll put the stock screws in from the outside, with some nuts on each one inside. Does that sound right? And also, did you remove all that rubber material over the tunnel and up against the firewall?

Just did the heater box delete on my car today. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Couldn't get to some parts of the plate with the drill to get the screws in so I just calked the edges to seal it and spray painted it to match the color of the car. Turned out pretty good.
