If they are near the Headers, they are Heat. If they are on the Tower with an electrical connection on them, they are the AC lines. I took the whole thing out, including the box on the Fire Wall. I put a Panel in place of it.

There is not really a write up. I just cut the box face flush off of the firewall so everything can still be bolted on the inside in the factory locations. The only mod was making a duct so the Blower motor can blow into the Heater Core.

He had went to change out his opti and had planned the better part of the day to do it, he was done by lunch time since everything was already out of his way and he could pretty much just sit in his engine bay and do it, definitely not an average car with everything being powdercoated, and when i say everything i mean even the driveshaft loops and bolts are coated, he swapped to a 12 bolt so now my driveshaft loops and bolts are powdercoated

After seing how the member above got rid of most of the box in the engine bay and kept his heat I'm really thinking about doing that, cleans up the engine bay a lot, gets rid of A/C which i dont use often anyways, and retains heat.
