Well, as the title states, should I bother with heat in the firebird or should i just say screw it?
It wouldnt be for a comfort thing, cause I'm only gonna drive the car in the summer and I'm not used to driving cars with heat that works anyway (the firebird this winter when i tried to drive it it was WELL below 0*'s out and i survived, LOL, and my cadillac the heat/ac only work once and a while so i dont even bother with it)
What are the arguements for or against it? I dont plan on selling the car any time soon, and even if i did, its not like the rest of the car is nice and pretty or origional (sheet metal gauge panel, carb'd 355 in an 89, B&M pro stick shifter,etc.)
I guess my only concern would be if the windows fogged up durring a rain storm or something, but couldnt I buy one of those small heaters that pluggs into the cigg lighter from JCWhitney or something if i needed it?
What should I do?
I'd prefer no heat but i dont wanna screw myself over this summer...

You're gonna get rid of the heater box then plug something into the cigarette lighter? GHETTO! Just keep it, its not worth wrecking your car if you ever drive it in the rain when the windows fog up.
