Condensor?
I've removed the AC unit from my 1995 Honda Civic DX hatchback. Is there a piece of duct that replaces the condensor under the dash for cars without AC? Does anyone have a part number for this?

Maybe I'm not using the correct name for this piece. It's not the little radiator looking thing in the engine bay. this is the plastic box under the dash on the passenger side. It has a small rubber hose that goes through the firewall to under the car and hooks up the the AC lines.

Bingo! That's what I'm looking for. So do non-AC cars have an evaporator? If not, what do they have in place of it?

no. there is just a heater core for the heat. when the heater switch is moved to the hot position it opens a valve to let hot coolant go trough the heater core. when is is moved to the cold with no ac it simply closes the valve and no hot coolant goes through the heater core, therefor air is still passing over the heater core but its not hot. with ac, there is an evaporator behind the heater core. when ac is switched on the pump kicks on and the evaporator gets cold. but anyways. no, there is no evaporator on vehicles without a/c

Maybe I'm not explaining well enough. I've removed the the black plastic box (evaporator core) from under the dash. Now there is a huge hole in the side of the heater core where the evap core attached to it. What covers this hole?
