It looks like the clip retaining the cable and the cable will separate cleanly from the box, and it also appears that the metal pin / metal bracket are part of the door and therefore a part of the box assembly. You *Might* be able to use the same part from a regular AC box ?!?!? When I get my hands on an AC box I'll compare the bracket to the one on the Non-AC box and update this thread.............
I can't pull this little piece from my box for Ya',....... but wanted to post a picture so that people can see what you are looking for.
john, thanks thats the part i'm looking for, except mine is shaped differently, is that box from an 82-83? i looked at my brothers 83 and it looked like the pictured one, but mine is different, mine is an a/c box and so is my brothers 83
YES - The Box WAS pulled form an 83 Camaro. That picture is from a NON AC Box, I JUST looked at 3 non-AC boxes they all looked like the bracket in my first post. I KNOW that one of the other boxes was from an 85 Bird but I don't know what year the 3rd box was.
I also looked at 4 AC style heater core boxes that have a brace that looks like this: ( they could be from any years between 85-92, I can't be sure ! )
After looking at tham I can say that - The brace IS a part of the door itself and it looks like your going to need to swap the door or the whole box if your bracket is busted.
I forgot there was any difference at all ! The Non AC style box always seems to be covered by an extra trim panel and the brace is not normally visible. I removed the plastic cover to take the pic of the Non AC style box ! ( at least non of the AC style cars I've had came with a plastic cover over the cable - That's a good "POLL" question !! )
yes! that last pic is what i have, i may have to swap the whole door, i believe this can be done inside the car by removing the front cover.

john can you get a pic of the door inside the heater box with the cover removed? can you spare that part?

My little lever is broken and would look exactly like the second picture, if it were still there. There's a bunch of yards around here with A/C thirdgens, but can you pull that whole box out with the door in it without removing the dash?
