Hi, I'm new to the site and just this year I purchased my first Buick (1968 GS 400 convertible). My A/C does not work and I plan to uninstall all A/C components. Does anyone have a good source for a proper metal firewall blower motor cover? I've looked at many of the sites and the best I can come up with is a plastic aftermarket piece from OPG for $120, which seems quite high for plastic. I realize some may feel a need to tell me that I'm crazy for removing a factory component such as A/C and I welcome the feedback. My rationale is simply that I would like to see the passenger side of my engine, be able to access #6 and #8 plugs and reduce vehicle weight. It would be great if anyone has a better source for a proper fitting metal firewall covering. Thanks.
that cover is a very good option, unless you make your own. With that cover, all your other components stay the same, and you heater will work. Welcome to the site.
Those covers are great i put one on my 67 impala and i plan on doing the same on the gs ac delete has them but opg is cheaper and the one that is on my 67 right now qas for the gs but it fit so i took it:TU:
