Last night, instead of reconnecting the blower fan in the engine compartment, I sealed them off? It appears they are only there to provide a blower into the engine compartment - is this accurate? Any issues/problems with this? Heat still seems to come through - is this an integral component of the heating system?

Thanks

If you are talking about the "J" pipes that run from the HE up thru the tin, you can plug them off with no problem. They are actually INLETS to the HEs from the engine compartment blower fan.....forced heat to the cabin.

For heat, if the rest of the system is intact, you will have to rely upon the engine cooling impeller...not great at low engine rpm and your defroster won't work worth a crap.
