Well guys, I found it! 2 hidden bolts behind the HVAC controls against the firewall. We are free and clear now. Thanks to all for the comments!

I've done an A/C delete on my 86 El Camino. Everything went well on the install. The instruction were a bit confusing at first but once I got
started I figured it out.

I used a SEM product called "Quick set 50" which is a autobody repair product. that sets in minutes instead of overnight like the silicone. I was able to make the project go much faster. I was well pleased with the A/C delete and it looks great. The install was easier for me because I already had my motor out but if your motor is still in you can drop the right fender liner, not the right fender but just the liner, which makes it much easier to get to the bottom bolts of the heater box. I also used 3M strip caulk to help seal everything. Good luck on your project.
