If you want to keep your Vent/Blower system working, American Graffiti AC Delete Box
$129 on Ebay (but just call them and buy directly, much faster than dealing with their ebay auction even with buy it now)

Looks like a nice piece. Good fit and finish? Quality materials?

It works, although I had to modify the holes slightly to fit correctly. Also I CANNOT GET access to the bottom heater hose hookup! They made the fiberglass come down and to the left as well as out too much that it causes there to be no room between the bottom heater hose hookup and the inner fender well support! Another person emailed me telling me they have the exact same problem. If enough people tell American Graffiti possibly they will modify their mold to fix this problem. You might call them and ask them if they have 'fixed it' yet or not. They told me when I called that they had sold hundreds and no one has ever mentioned such an issue. I could easily modify the fiberglass and reresin it back up to fix the issue but since I live in Southern California it doesn't bother me. I plan to upgrade to Vintage AC after the car is done anyways.

They tell me you can hook up the bottom heater hose connection, you be the judge (hint, the bottom heater hose connection is behind that fiberglass box and inner fender support bracket):
