Removing air conditioning selector

[Katman]

What else mounts this unit to the firewall?  I've removed nuts from three studs on the engine side of the firewall and a bolt on the top right side?  Is there anything else besides adhesive holding this against the insulation on the firewall?

Well there is 7 Studs that will have speed nuts that need removing and then the single bolt you removed on the top right side as you mentioned is only 1 of two that need to be removed. The other is in the opposite corner of the blower motor housing part.

Basically feel all around that ac housing and or use a light and mirror on an angle to see the other 5 you are still missing.

The outside is held with Dum Gum. the inside with have the firewall padding and 46 plus years and heat and dust and hardened condensation holding it to the inside wall. with a little up and down wiggle for a bit it should with its own weight start to fall inwards.

Darren,

 

Are you saying there are seven studs going through the firewall?  I removed nuts from two studs on the right side to the right of the bolt that was removed and a nut on the other side right behind the distributor on the engine side of the firewall.  Which side of the firewall are the speed nuts?

Hey Mark, All the speed nuts are on the underhood side. there are 2 bolts around the fan blower housing.

here are a couple of pictures so you can see the ac delete plate which uses the same holes to mount the plate as well as one that is just the housing so you can see where the bolts / speed nuts would be.
