Yeah, I heard about cutting the front out of the heater core box. I'd like to get that done in the '79. THat is just stupid that Ford made it that way. Pisses me off. I'd like to hear from someone who's done it successfully with no adverse effects and do mine like they did theirs. Or, I may just trade out A/C dash for a non-A/C dash where you can just go through the glove box to change the heater core like my first '79. I think that would be the wisest since I don't plan on using A/C on the car anyways, but I do want my heat.
