My compressor is bad.the one is cool if i had a good one.the holes on the firewall have plates cut to fit.I'm waiting to weld them in.i plan on staying with the closed system as they seen to work fine.I'm waiting on funds so i can order that aluminum pressure bottle.if i understand correctly i need to "t" or "tie in" between the water pump and therm housing?thanks for the help.this project wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for all the great advice and help you all provide.

Also has anyone plugged the outlets on the thermostat and water pump as i won't need these in doing the heater delete.

Maybe the foam seals they use around doors and Windows will work.they come in different widths and lengths.they also peel and stick.all lowes, homedepot and maybe Wal-Mart carry them
