Hi,
Anyone knows if you could remove the heater box on a 65 coronet without remove the dash?
I have manufacturing a heater delete plate already and about add a chrome plug over the blower knob. Also have the rubber delete plugs for the firewall.
Now I need to remove the heater core box but aint so fund of start removing the hole dash

No. Just disconnect the cables and vacuum hoses, unbolt 3 bolts from the firewall and IIRC, there is one or two brackets that attach to the dash. Pretty simple!

Spray a little WD-40 on the rubber plugs to make them go into the holes on the firewall easier....

I think there are 2 brackets.Its been a while since I pulled the one from my parts car.Its a tigh fit getting it out but as said not bad.Just a lot of being upside down getting all the wiring out of the way.Rocky

Dont throw away that heater core assembly. The push button control block can be rebuilt for a reasonable price. Helping someone keep a driver on the road is good Carma.

Thanks guys,
I promise keeping the heater core and who knows maybe one day I need it or maybe I sell it.

The heater core is gone and in a crate. It was a smoooth operation!
I have attach the rubber plugs at the firewall. Its room for a little person where the heater core was. I remove the speaker. Also when I was crawling there I took the time to remove the passenger side wiper. I attach the chrome delete knob/plate for the hole.
The blower knob is gone and a chrome plug that I find is attach in the hole.

Slowly the car start more and more look like a Superstock car.

Must invert the passenger shock tower also, will be next step waiting for the elephant to be finish.

Cheers!

What did you do about the hole in the firewall where the AC line and expansion valve come out of the box? Do those rubber plugs just push into the heater box mounting holes in the firewall?

Yes correct, the tree rubber plugs is just for the holes where heater core box is bolted in the firewall.
My car dident have any AC just one in- and outlet true the firewall. I will buy two 1" rubber plugs (other style than picture) for these holes.

Crappy cellphone picture of the rubber plugs and the two other plugs for the heater delete project.

Picture of the heater delete plate and the blower knob delete.

The passenger side wiper delete. Last picture - I promise

Where did you get the rubber plugs for the box mounting holes?

I got them from a friendly guy, Jim Schild (theautoreview.com). I'm from Sweden and I havent a clue besides that.

moparsteve636 over on ForBbodiesonly.com sells them. That's where I got mine.
