I have my impeller house apart for cleaning and it appears there were alignment pins for the front and back halves . How many are there? I have 2 pins around the impeller itself. There seems to be holes in the perimeter for pins too? Please review and advise so I can dig up some more as needed
Best Robert Diagram does not show the housing in 2 pieces |

The heating system does offer a fair amount of restriction to airflow, so just leaving the ports open would allow more air to escape. It does seem a shame to waste cooling air. Also, if you look at the design, the two scrolls are designed differently. The bottom scroll is much larger (note the position of the pins: for equal scrolls the pins would be opposed across the fan); but the lower scroll feeds both heater ducts, the alternator, and the oil cooler in addition to the cylinders. If the heater ports were blocked off internally as in this diagram, then internal turbulence would be minimized.
