Default AC Delete with working Heat

I made that post a while back to where I got the AC out of the Fire Wall.
The way I cut inside of it after I got the Box off works. I had to make a duct for the Blower motor to blow into the Heater Core, and that works. I will post a pic of the Engine Bay later today. This is what I did.

Does look very good. I really wish I didn't need the AC so I could free up some more room... Unfortunately I'm not down with the redneck AC (windows down), and living here in FL, I would sweat my *** off without it!

What I did was just put some freeze plugs into the line holes. However I really like the way that turned out. I'm a little lazy for that.

I was bored at work. As far as Florida, I am in central Arkansas, we get the same heat and humidity, but you get used to it. I take girls out in my Cadillac, that has AC like a freezer. You shiver in that thing..

Looks good merv, I'd paint the delete plate the same color as the engine bay for that really deleted look.

Thanks. You don't really see it that much when it's under the hood. It does look stock. I was going to paint it, but I wanted it to be seen, to show that I took the time to put that in, and still retain factory Heat.

So, thats what it looks like without the ac. Lots of room now to do the plugs. Good job.
