Default Remove the AC panel and Vents inside

I'm close to purchasing a '69 project car that was equipped with AC. The AC compressor is already gone and not with the car. I do not want AC anyway, so my question is: are the dashes and instrument consoles different on an AC Car? Or is the interior just a bolt-on, I can remove it, and it will look like a Non-AC car from the inside?

On my 1968 FHC, the dash and instrument panel are the same for the AC and Non AC cars. The only part that is different is the radio console/panel. The radio console is shorter on the AC cars to allow room for the AC evaporator.

I agree with Daytona. You'll also have to cover the holes for the A/C hose and condensate drain.
