Heating after throttle bodies

Has anyone any experience or ideas for heating improvements for a 911 3.2c 1984. I have installed throttle bodies which means the engine fan to assist in airflow through the heat exchangers doesnt fit.

Has anyone had this experience and managed to give the heating a bit of a boost, or is there any aftermarket products in general that bring the heating into the 21st century...

Many thanks

Does the car already have the kick panel blowers?

Mine is an early car and doesn't have kick blowers. Can they be retrofitted?

If you think you need the fan can't you mount it further back in the engine compartment? Get creative with the mounting bracket maybe? The heater hose being flexible gives you different options if you can come up with a alternate mount for the OEM fan.

thats probably going to be the only way forward. I'll have to modify the triangular blanking plate as it interferes with the twin spark distributor.

Is it possible to retrofit the kick fans?

Also has anyone ever had any experience fitting an after market heater. I have read about Webasco petrol heaters that are mad for th early 911's?
