The a/c evaporator and heater core is what is on the firewall, if that's what you mean.

I think its fiberglass. My engine is out too, and I noticed the same thing. My headers now have a nice coating on them to keep them cool, so I hope I wont have that problem any more.

I plan on making a heat shield for that thing because my long tubes made a nice burn mark on it.
