I want to convert my SS 454 with A/C to non-A/C and would like it to appear original. The system is non-functional and incomplete and I have another Chevelle that is fully loaded. I'd like a no-option car to complement it.
One problem is that I don't have a non-air car to reference, I'll be buying the necessary parts long distance.
Can I just swap the evaporator core/blower housing on the firewall for a non-air housing and motor? Is the bolt pattern the same? Is there any difference in the holes through the firewall between air and non-air cars? Will the non-air housing cover the entire hole and appear original?
I know I have to change the dash, replace the vent under the steering column with vent handles and cables, add another handle and cable under the dash on the passenger side and change the switch assembly. I think I may have to change the duct that runs under the dash as well.
Besides removing the rest of the components from the engine compartment, is there anything I'm overlooking? Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Donny
