AC firewall template
Does anyone know where i can get some kind of template for the ac housings cutouts in the firewall for a 69 gto? Ive got a non air car that im going to be putting factory air back it and know i will need to cut out the holes for it as well as close up the holes from the heater box and was hoping someone sold/has a template i could layout. Ive looked online with no luck so far. Thanks!

I have done that to a 68 GTO. Can be done well, and i had the benefit of a real metal firewall for a template.
A stiff template may work very well. |

I went the other direction
Little know fact - the non ac firewall has a vertical rib stamped that the non ac doesn't have. |

See the rib?
It's not there on an AC firewall. The stampings are different. Likely two different part numbers. |

Wonder if one of the "Vintage Air" type places could help you out. They probably know more about swapping AC components than most.

I think you still missed it...unless I'm missing it? Not important but read your first statement again closely. You said 'non' AC in both examples. No biggie, just joking around.

Yes, I got it from the initial post....I can't seem to get the joke across so I'll just let it go, not important at all.

Man scott, you're my hero lol. I dont know if you remember but i bought my hideaway headlight set up and my 4 speed set up off you. You're just the answer to any Pontiac problems i have. I would love some measurements from the firewall as ive failed to come up with them anywhere else.

yes its has tinted glass .....
but you would have a very big leak in your car when it rains ... the convert is about 4" short on the rear edge for your hardtop ... sorry Scott passenger side glass's have a couple scratches that are tough to see |

Didn't realize they were different...makes sense though since now that I think about it there is no c-pillar so I guess that would have to be a completely different shape. I know the door glass is the same.

Just for the record Greg, I got your joke. Frank

Im back
so it quit raining for an hour today and I snapped a few pictures and made you a template ... on the template that should read 1/2 " not 1/4" I trimmed the top to the shape of the cowl and tucked it over against the fender bracket ran afelt pen around the hole from inside and poked a nail thru the mount holes.... I suppose u can cut the big rectangle hole out of the cardboard with a utility knife then trace onto your firewall..cut to the outside of the black a tad because i traced thru the hole the heater core tube hole s may be tricky ... the mount stud holes ..... once you trim the card board big hole maybe lay the cardboard over your ac suitcase and do final adjustments ? pm me your mailing information and I will get it in the mail if its somethin you could use or any other tidbits ?
