Delete Heat, What can I take out? Options

[BPic]

I'm getting my engine ready for install and since I won't have heat, headers and no tubes in longs, what should I shouldn't I leave or bock off on the engine? Do I remove the flaps on the fan cowl? Bolch the holes at the bottom of the fan cowl? Remove the controller that moves the flaps? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
This is a 2056 with Carbs..

Thanks,

Brad

The plastic caps from spray paint cans also fit perfectly as caps for the longs. You can then strip out any heater components in the rear you like: flappers and associated pipes, rear heater blower, cables and lever if you want to tidy things up. If you remove the J-pipes that run through the engine tin, I would figure out an alternative way to block those holes to keep the cooling system working properly and prevent crap from getting into your engine compartment. If you pull the heater cables, I'd also plug the tubes that run through the firewall.

The only non-racing advantage I can think for messing with the front would be to remove the paper tubes behind the speaker housings to allow more speaker options. If you do that, you'll need to plug the inlets on the diverter boxes under the cowl. I'd probably plug the fronts of the longs too just for good measure. I agree that for a street car you want to keep the fresh air system (everything under the cowl) in working order.
