As I rarely drive in winter, and it was not original, I believe I will just remove it and forget about a heater. Also, one of the previous owners installed galvanized pipe with 90 elbows to connect the heater hose to. Amusing but not cool. What do the plugs for the outlets look like when no heater was used, or were these holes added when a heater installed?

But now that you have mentioned it, what was used to block the holes in the firewall? I have two sets as the after market heater did not line up with the factory holes and someone drilled another set.
