My 73 2.0 has the engine / tranny out for rebuild and I noticed two holes in the engine bay. The car originally came with AC but I've decided not to include it in the rebuild.
Are these two holes in the bay for the AC hoses? If so, should I have them welded or just covered with large rubber grommets? I imagine there are two more in the firewall that will also need attention. Thanks for your advice in advance!  |

Those may be for AC hoses, but usually the engine shelf has a big rectangular section cut out on the forward passenger side to clear the old monstrous York compressor. I don't see that cut-out in the photo. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
