Question for all the second gen folks: does the pocket in the AC box serve a purpose? I'd like to shave it to get more engine setback room but I can't help but think it's there for a reason.

I cut that out of my box and epoxied a plate in it's place, so that's flat all the way across on my 78TA. Looks great I think, however, When the engine was installed there is very little clearance between the heater box and #8 spark plug and the coolant sensor for the Dakota Digital gages. It all works but, getting #8 plug out takes as long as removing the other 7 combined so I am sure it will get changed in the future to be slightly recessed.1978 Pontiac Trans Am Y88-R,
