Removal of A/C black box (heater core) in engine bay ?

1st and goal

A while ago I removed my A/C compressor (gotta love the plug clearance:D) and A/C condensor.

I'd like to get rid of the black box (heater core) that the a/c lines went to in the back pass side of the engine compartment.

Did 4th gen F-bodies ever come without A/C?
I'd like to keep the heat in the car for those cold spring / fall days but am looking to ditch the A/C part.

Has anyone done this and kept the heater / defroster working?

Posting in the general tech and drag race forums as this seems to be more of a drag race question.

Thanks,
Marc
