I am curious about the backdating of the heater - did you get details of what was required to be done?

I am going to do a bit more than just dynamat, so hopefully it's at least as quiet as stock (which really wasn't that quiet). I'm planning to go with a black sliverknit RS kit from AppBiz, and am waiting on two Recaro Speed seats that won't be here until end of August.
For the heater backdate, it's a fairly common modification on the 3.2's. The engine blower motor for the heat is removed and you just close off the line where the blower motor was. Essentially just simplifying the system. The hot air will still make it to the front when the baffles are open, just won't have the help of the engine bay fan. With footwell blower motors I have read you can still easily toast your feet. I like how much it opens up the engine compartment. If I'm wrong on any of that, anyone can correct me.
