I know this is a typical thing that most of us guys do when either our AC/heater doesn't work or we just don't give a hoot. Some of you know that I've had problems with the bu lately and she doesn't long our long distance driving to college. This past friday I had one of the critical wires on the starter come lose from the connector. Luckily, I managed to jump the connection and get the engine started to finish the two hour drive, just couldn't turn the car off.
Tried to fix the wire on the side of the road but because of that massive air box, I kept burning my hand on the headers trying to reach down. Well when I got home I commenced to tearing out that massive air box. The heater worked a bit, but the vents would not change, problem vacuum canisters, and I got rid of the AC when I first got the car. Got the rest of the climate control harness out of the car as well. Now there is so much room it makes my 350 look like a six cylinder. I'm in the process of fabrication the other have of the rain catch tray where the vent inlet from the outside was, that way I can put the factory seal back on and keep any and all water from getting into the engine bay.
Here's a before shot:
And an after shot:
PS Don't know why the after shots came out so small
