so i just got done gutting my dash and am about to replace my heater core. my question is will taking the evaporator box out effect anything. i noticed the evaporator is connecting the blower to the heater. if i take the evaporator out with that gigantic hole on the side of the blower where the heater once was blow heat out of it? will it effect the other vents in the car?

 

Ummm, gigantic hole between blower and heater? Yes, I'd guess it would affect the heat distribution through the ducts that are now effectively disconnected.

 

thats what i figured but i was told differently.

 

gut out the box and put it back in thats what i did

 

good idea!!! that box did have a good bit of weight to it. my interior will be getting a fresh paint job while this dash is out too.

 

bawlin. but yea you need that box to get air through your car lol

 

The evaporator is the heat exchanger inside the box, not the box itself. The box does 2 things, direct the blower to the vents, and catch the condensation that comes off the evaporator.

So yeah, do like the others said and gut the box, then reinstall just the plastic box.

 

You can find the a/c delete duct also..

 

where'd u get that pretty piece.

 

bump to that

 

That is called a heater duct and was used on non A/C cars. You can get one from the dealer for like $45-$50 dollars. Or you can try and search at junkyards for one. I just sold mine just recently.
