Why no heater core/blower motor??

Wondering why some people seem to removed these. What the heck to you do if the windshield fogs up? I live in MN and it can get quite dewy! I love the look and actually plan to do this to mine.

Re: Why no heater core/blower motor??

Vintage Air and others make kits to do away with the stock underhood stuff that include heater/defrost.The bolt on delete is better but it looks best with a smoothed firewall.

I kind of like a little heat after surfing early in the mornings.

For the amout of times I've had heat on in the morning and AC on in the afternoon here in MN, I can't imagine why anybody would remove it.

For you Sunday only drivers - what happens when you get caught in a downpour and your windows fog up? Do you sit and wait for a dry day so you can drive it home safely?

I can't imagine ever taking it off without some other means of keeping the windows clear.
