Engine Fire wall

ok in the engine bay when you take out all of the air conditioning equipment there is a big hole. i know there are places to buy things that go over it but i forget the sites. any one want to tell me a site that has the piece that goes over it. its like a Fire wall kit or something. Thanks.

It's called either a non-A/C blower box, or a piece of sheet metal, depending on whether you want to keep the heater working or not.

Re: Engine Fire wall

i wouldnt get rid of the blower motor. That would be ridiculous
the link with ac delete box looks pretty nice. Although expensive, its too much work to fiberglass your own box. Should paint it the color of engine bay for a clean look, but looks a lot better than a hacked out piece of sheet metal covering.

Re: Engine Fire wall

That is a nice looking box, but holy moly, for a piece of plastic. I would look at a JY

Re: Engine Fire wall

They seem to be pretty rare in most US junkyards, despite the fact that it's not actually an "A/C delete". Having the heater only was the base configuration and A/C was the option.
