I have an A/C delete box, installed blower motor from old a/c box and the blower wheel is too large for the hole in the firewall. Does this require a blower wheel made for a model with out A/C?

 

yes....it is not as deep. blower motors are the same, but cage is different

 

i just spaced the motor out with nuts and longer bolts then fillrd the gap with silicon and painted the whole cover flat black.

 

or for those wanting a much more professional looking installation, you can make a spacer out of metal or wood, paint it black, and it'll completely disappear.

 

how much of a gap from the long blower motor do you get??? I am wondering how thick of a spacer one would need if they didn't have the corrcet non- a/c blower. anyone know if some place like Napa might sells the cage, maybe that would be the cheapest and easiest way to go hhhhmmmmm........................

why dont you just swap it for the smaller assembly?

junk yard or one from one of us like myself who have some laying around

even one off an old 67-87 truck without a/c would work

or s-10

or you name it

pretty much any GM one fits and works

90% of them anyways

good luck

 

what i did was replace the wheel, and became good friends with silicone. works better than a gasket, as i don't plan on taking it apart. at the time i was looking for a "quick fix". i still have to replace the resistor. just got the motor installed and wanted to put a couple miles on it before i parked it for winter.
the gap that i had was about 1/4 inch. maybe a tick less.

 

I installed a AC delete box and I never had a problem with anything hitting. I hooked it up, turned it on, and it worked fine. Is that normal?

 

if it was me, nothing would work!! and that is on a good day!! if everything works, i would say leave well enough alone!!
