Ac Box?
When I took the AC box out of my IROC, I took the box that held the (what the hell is it called, not the condensor..its the other finned device by the firewall) "thing" and cut it with a dremel, leaving only the flanges which bolt to the firewall and just enough "border". I then fiber glassed the opening. Came out pretty bitchen, after it was painted. At the time, you could buy an 1LE box (no AC ), but they wanted something like $300 for what I did for $10 or $20 (back in 93)
I took a clear piece of plastic traced around the hole then used that as a templete to cut a piece of thin steel, then put weather strip around the outside of it to keep any fumes from coming in. Or you can buy one from -->billingsly for $59
You have to pull the dash to take it out. I just got some aluminum and cut a patch. I think I riveted it in place. Painted it black and you can't even tell anything used to be there. I've heard it needs to be a certain thickness to pass a chassis certification though.

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
yea, i want to do the same. But i got a lt1, my buddy took it out of his ls1 and it looks badasss. I did the same with my old iroc, but when i pulled out the a/c box my heat didnt blow or anything. I took out all my a/c out of my lt1 and wanna pull the big **** box out too but i dont wanna loose my heat eaither. And any tips on pulling the dash out too. Any hidden bolts i should be aware of.
Yes you will lose your heater core and blower motor. There is a bolt directly behind the intake the needs to be taken out. There are some bolts that are kinda hidden but you'll find them. I opted to take out the stock setup and put in a mojave heater. Alot lighter and tons more room.
