You may also want to look at my thread and redo all the foam on the flaps, since you have the box out....and also clean the heater core and evaporator.
I can't seem to find it anywhere, at least not with the part number that is on the part (in the photo). Removing it should be a matter of grinding the rivets off with a dremel, then pop-riveting the new one back in place?

I am for sure following your thread cooljjay, and will be refoaming the flaps (great suggestion with the craft foam). What's the consensus on replacing the evaporator entirely at this stage of the game? Seems like something that is a real bear to get to...and here I am. My understanding of the heater cores is they are pretty robust, and most would not preemptively replace.
