The best way is with a non A/C box. Check out Third Generation USA - Welcome! for pics and a tech article explaining this.

This is what I did for my 87 camaro after tore out all the other AC compontents. The hard part was finding the part. The local chevy dealer doesn't carry parts "that old". Sometimes someone is selling one on e-bay. I found mine at the junkyard after much time lookin into each third gen I came across. Problem is that most of these cars came with AC.

I don't need AC, my car has windows.

I just took a look at that link for Third Gen USA. If they have the part in stock for that price, go for it. I would have if I knew. You could save a little cash by doing it the way I did, but spend a lot more time and effort.
