Remanents from a LHD to RHD conversion.
The previous owner of my car did a LHD to RHD swap. I've just pulled out the front wiring harness and noticed a few left over parts. Just wondering if anybody can identify them for me and suggest if they can be removed without any ongoing issues?
I assume one is the pipe that goes up into the old brake booster. Can that now be removed? There's also some pipes coming up through the smugglers box. Are they A/C or brake related? Also there's the black rubber hose coming from the brake reservoir running under the smugglers box lid. Where does this run to as per factory? Gotta be a better spot than under the lid. Finally. What would the electrical plug be that's coming up from the smugglers box? Is that factory? I'm guessing I'll have to weld up that old brake booster hole.

Yeah the evaporator lives in the smugglers box. It's the part that gets cold, you need that bit

Genuine RHD cars have a tiny smuggler’s box so there is no space for the AC evaporator/blower unit there. The conversion would have chopped the LHD box in half, hence the removal of the unit but they left the pipes in place.
If you are curious, the evaporator/blower on a RHD with factory AC is behind the passenger floorboard.

Assuming that the pipe coming through the cutout in the sheet metal used to be going to the brake booster, just wondering if there's any reason now that this couldn't be removed? I assume once removed, I could weld a patch over the top and it would be like it was never there!
