Did any of our cars come a/c delete? I am removing my a/c and need to complete the heater fan blower ducting. Does anyone have any info for this? or should I just fab up a duct from sheet aluminum..

 

Yeah the 1LE cars had the AC delete option. There is a bunch of info and pictures on this subject if you search for it. Mainly there was a website that use to sale the AC delete box for 70 bucks but he ran out of items to sale. I would personally check junk yards first, you might get lucky. They do have them on ebay often but idiots on there bid them up to outrageous prices usually. I've seen just the cover part go for over 100 bucks before shipping and it had rust on it even.

 

Well gentlemen todays trip to the boneyard went well. I found a car with that option and it hadnt been touched yet. It even had the stock blower and wire harness. I swiftly removed it and ran like I had won lotto. Total damage to the wallet a mere 10 dollars.SWEET. THANK YOU for the info I think I can now drop in the stroker. See me on the streets Kevin L.

 

Way to go man, I still need to go searching for one too when ever I get the time.... just too busy here lately... + junk yards usually ripe me off.

 

can you believe that i went to a local junkyard and he said the 15 years he has been the owner he has never seen just a standard heater box for thirdgens..

 

Yeah I didn't try much with the yards here in FL. Pretty much every single car has A/C installed.

 

It works. I hooked it up today. It also looks like I will finally have enough room for my tall roller rocker valve covers.

 

Neither of my IROC's have/had A/C from the factory. Unfortunately for my new one that means it has a single fan. No worries though, I have a dual fan setup in my garage

 

Kevin

Congrats on the find

However, you don't need to remove the A/C to run tall valve covers.

I have Moroso stamped steel tall covers in my 91 Formula with the A/C intact. It is a little tight but I can pop the valve covers without a problem to adjust lash while I'm at the track.

 

and the point of that lil story was what.........

 

ooooo just bragging rights since my car was 1 in 7000 (out of 100,000) units in '88 without A/C. Probably the same for the 89 too

 

thats cool. i wish my car was a stock AC delete one

 

People claim that they have a hard time finding AC delete boxes on this board, but around here there's quite a few iron duke and V6 AC deleted F-Bodies in the wreckers....

 

i would pick em all up and sell em

 

Not a bad idea, I could easily double my profit.

 

this is true

 

Quick question- what does "AC delete" mean? -89IRO

 

taking all of the AC compenents out of your car.

 

O.K., thanks, that's what I thought. -89IRO
