Those of you without A/C, is there a part that seals the air in, now that the condenser is gone? I guess there were some LS1's from the factory without A/C so there should be a part? Anybody know? Car was running a bit hot at Summit Point now that the A/C is gone, but it was also 100F in the shade! Need to keep making my aluminum baffle or buy a factory part before 3 days at the Glen next week.

I'm sure other's have removed the A/C on their LS1's.....where are you guys? Have you done anything?

The aluminum should help.....I didn't have these high temps last year when it was in the 90's? The oil cooler has been on all along, and that may make the difference. I'm almost done sealing it off with some welded aluminum pieces and some weather stripping. We will see how it does at Watkins Glen next week, but it will probably only be in the 80's.
