Default Swaps with no A/C

I was wondering if its still possible to keep the fan/radiator thing in there without it being pluged in or anything. I dont like the look of the empty slot on the front of my car leaving it exposed.

plug up the AC lines so that no contaminants will get into the system. It will save you $ if you choose to hook it up in the future.

You can buy a plastic panel that goes that specific location from Honda. It's found on non-AC Civics, where the A/C condensor would normally go. It keeps the view of your headers out of sight. If you want to unhook your A/C line in the engine bay, just use a cresent wrench and unhook it from the firewall.

But it still lets air pass through right? Or is it solid?

no that piece does not air in. its there not really to cover up your header but actually its there to force the air to go through your radiator so that it cools better. otherwise the air would take the easiest path which is around the radiator. take it out either way though and save weight.
