I'm also about to plate my firewall to cover the heater core opening and the fans round hole. that's OK isn't it? As I understand you pull the air from the interior w/ the aftermarket A/C units?
Thanks,

Yes, i removed that vacuum actuated door and box. Then i installed a plate sealing it off from the kick panel. I still have the kick panel "pull for fresh air" in place. But living in Houston it will probably never get used. I installed my bulkhead plate (for the heater and a/c fittings) In the area that the blower motor squirrel cage used to be. Thats why i cut out that piece for room to get to the fittings. Yes the vintage air unit recirculates the cabin air. I also ran my evaporator drain line to the kick panel area. rather than drill any holes in the tunnel or firewall.
