A/C delete conversion folks, help ASAP!!

Hey guys, I am finishing up taking the a/c and smog off of my L98 88 IROC. My question is on the front of the AC delete box to the right of the hole for the fan there is a small round hole and then to the right of that a larger rectangular hole. What goes in these holes? I think the one is for the resistor thingy I pulled of the original A/C box. The part number is 526897. The one from the AC box wont fit on the AC delete box though. Anyone have the name or part number of the piece I need? And what goes in the smaller round hole? Thanks for the help.

I found that the part I pulled off the A/C box was a blower motor resistor. Still need the part number for the correct A/C delete resistor.

The resistor you have is correct for your blower fan speeds, the AC delete one has only 2 resistors, the AC one has 3. Just enlarge the hole with a dremel tool and use the one off the AC box.

The round hole is for the vent tube that goes to the round hole on the bottom of the blower motor. The stock tube will not fit, so you will have to "engineer" something, I used one from and Olds cutlass ciera, circa about '90. It doesn't fit perfectly, but it fits.
