A/C or heater under glove box

I just recently hooked up a turbo gauge, and the only way I could find to get the tubing through the firewall was to remove the giant heating/ac/ventillation box underneath the glove box. This left me with 3 big gaping holes through the firewall (and of course really weak airflow through the vents). Now that it’s getting cold I have to have heat again!

Now this thing has a giant condenser thing inside of it, and has a power plug. So I’m just not sure if this thing is for heat or a/c, or both. Since I don’t have a/c with the SR, this is prob useless unless its actually a heater (of course none of the 3 connections were hooked up to anything) So can I just strip everything out of the plastic box, and put it back in, so air flows properly, or does it still need an connection to the engine bay to bring in air?

I don’t remember cleary from when I had my dash apart, but I think the box on the left of the glove box is AC and the right is heat. You need to leave both connected for proper air flow. Just seal the hose ends of the box that stick out of the engine compartment.

Most likely what youre talking about is the removal of the Intake and A/C unit.
Yes you can take everything out of the AC unit if you dont have an AC and seal it back up (thats the Black housing) the Inteke unit is the unit on the far right ( passenger side) which needs to be installed as well to push the air through the (AC) housing and into the heater.

Here is what youre looking at…to keep air flow you need to keep the AC unit housing.

That’s EXACTLY what I was looking for, thank you very much Doba !!
