Backdate heat on a 930
I've read a lot of threads on the benefits of backdating the heat (cleans up the engine bay, less weight), but most of the examples were cars other than Turbos. I have heat exchangers on my BB headers/exhaust. Footwell blowers are pretty much inop. My car is a 1987 930 so I have the 10 stage dial between the seats. As is, I only really get heat in the cabin when I switch the knob to 10 and it feels like it leaks in. Don't get me started on the HVAC controls. Is this a thing the people do on 930's?
I'm not that familiar with the plumbing to know what can be gotten rid of, what's kept, etc, and how to go about doing this project. Also, as a newb wrencher, not sure if this is something I can do myself (screwing/tightening/removing/rerouting) or if I'd need a more experienced hand to help (dropping engine, etc). Also, do you keep the HVAC controls the same?
Side note, I've got aftermarket AC (I am in TX) and will need keep that.
