Hey guys. I deleted my AC system and i got the ac delete box from American Graffiti. Drilling holes and making a hole for the resistor is mandatory. Here is a shot of the work done.



now i have a question, the rubber pipe that comes from the tail of the blower has to be connected for sure or can i leave unplug? Anyone in here have used this box?

I'm not sure what the point in the rubber tube is really. I always assumed it was a method of moving some air to the blower motor to keep it cool, but I really have no clue.

i have the same idea. Let's see if anyone from here has used this box before and what has done to it!

The rubber tube is to provide airflow to cool the electromotor

I was going to use one of their boxes but after buying one but never receiving anything but lame excuses about how they would be fabbing a new batch blablabla I bought a steel factory one.

I got this one from Hawksthirdgenparts. Gm doesn't make the steel boxes anymore and used ones are hard to find/pricy for their rusty shape. Been looking for one since the summer. I decided to get this one and it looks good! I found a nice way of solving the problem. Will post some shots tomorrow

I lucked out twice, I found both of mine right here in the Netherlands. The one on my camaro was in better shape than the one on my TA though (a couple of little dents), I had been looking for them for quite a while and because I couldn't find any that someone wasn't asking 300 Euros for (400-450usd ... from a guy in Germany LOL) I wanted to buy the AG one. That's why I initially forked over the money to buy one. Lucky me, I bought it via ebay.

I went to Homedepot and i got this "wet fitting". its used in circuits outside the house. one side is threaded and the other is flat. the flat side is 1/2 inch Dia. it comes with a plastic nut which i used on the inside. here is the installation.

An alternative would have been to buy a replacement blower motor, they usually don't use that tube, and come with a plug to fill the hole in the housing.

artic where in wa you at. Which yards you go to. And next time you pick one up let me know. There is a guy locally to me, but he still won't sell for under 100, though he tells me he picks up for 15

If you want to do something during your free time, make a website (simple thing) and announce there the stock of air boxes you have. Keep those prices and you gonna make a lot of guys here happy.

I like this box because it is light and has a good finishing coat. Sadly it is pricey and could have a better functional design(connection for the pipe/wider flange to apply the gasket between the box and the firewall). I am happy and let me see if tomorrow i finish the whole swap. Busy with college lately.
