65 Dart Non AC Heater to 66 Dart with AC

I understand that even within the 1965 year, the bulkhead varied significantly between AC and non-AC cars. Modification requires a lot of cutting and patching. Some have replaced the entire firewall. If you have a 1966 AC climate box and don't want AC, why not just open it and remove the evaporator?

I still have it and I will consider that too. It's so dam bulky I cut off the AC part, but a little welding and fabrication should make it work!
