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

Try not to confuse engine cooling with car heating ,the engine stays as is DON'T remove any of that,the operation of the air flaps via the thermostat are very important parts that need to work properly.
Yes by all means block the heater flaps closed,if you don't you loose 10% of your cooling fan air,these motors need all they can get.
I have a six with headers and have blocked off the heater tubes @ each end,hell I have even deleted my heater control,as Steve points out cool air will offer some form of defrost...works in my case.
Good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) .
