has anyone changed it in car? im going to go from a/c to no a/c and i have everything to change it and was wondering how hard it is to change the box in the car and if anyone had any tips or instructions

thanks

 

The only "box" inside the car is the box where the heater core is, and there's nothing to change there. The only difference between a factory A/C car and a factory non-A/C car is all under the hood, except for the heater controls that don't have an A/C setting.

 

ik that but i have the non-ac controls and cable drivin box that i wanna use as there are no vacuum lines and i'd like to use heat and it would also be nice to have the non a/c controls there. So back to the OP how much of a pain is it? and does anyone have any tips or trick in changing the heater box?

 

There's still vacuum actuated doors in the non-A/C box...

To get at the under dash heater box, well, pull the dash. Then it's all right there waiting to be yanked.

 

what doors? and do you have to pull the dash or can you pull just the box?

 

Well, now that I have actually read that section of the FSM, I'll admit I was wrong and that the doors are all cable controlled (kind of ridiculous if you ask me).

As for removing the box, it's either cut the dash in half and pull the right half out of the car or pull the entire dash. You CANNOT get the interior heater box out without removing the dash, PERIOD. It stretches from the extreme top of the dash all the way to the bottom. Not to mention all of the ducting needs to be disconnected from the box and you will need access to slip the harnesses out and what not.

 

damn well now to decide if i wanna tear apart the dash or not.

 

well got the old one out and the new one in just unbolted the dash and tipped it forward and was able to get it out and in was kind of a pain but not too bad.
