What is AC delete cover?

Can you see the evap core?
It's a split shell design so that does make it a little easier. The evap core can be had from the engine side. Once the box and evap are out of the way, you can see the core, but I think it is released from the inside by several screws going through the firewall.
Can you use a heater core after removing the AC box?
If you order a new cover from AC Delete (acdelete.com) you can use your existing heater core which will stay on the firewall after removing the AC box.
