Take a saw, cutoff wheel, or hammer to it. By the way, you can remove that box and keep your heat.

search for a/c delete that retains heat. there are a few in the drag tech forum. you can cut the engine bay portion of the box where the evap core is and install the plate with some minor cutting to retain heat. your vacuum line and heater lines need to come through the plate. pm the merv too, he has a write up with a couple pics.
