Hey just wondering when I strip my ac out of the car can i replace the heater core with a non ac heater core afterwards?.. also anyone know where to find a decent plug to go in the firewall holes from the a/c lines being deleted?

You'd only really be able to get away with that if you also swapped the air box in the passenger compartment with the non-A/C version. The A/C heater core is designed to allow for room to be installed along with the evaporator that is also mounted in the air box.

Short answer, no.

Like said, the entire HVAC box is different, so you'd need to yank the dash and swap the boxes.

Most just cap the evap core lines at the firewall in the bay and call it a day.
