Sounds like youre doing the same thing as me. I'm in the middle of the swap, so I don't have all the details, but from searching and trips to the junk yard, I have a good idea of whats going on.
Youre going to have an extra rectangle hole in your fire wall after the swap. The whole heater system is different. The controls are different and the dash vents will be unused with the non-ac setup. Non-ac pickups don't have holes for vents on the dash. The ac controls are vacuum operated while the non-ac controls are cable operated. When you grab the non-ac controls, make sure its from a dual tank pickup so you have a tank selector switch. From what i can see, the defrost vent section may be the same, everything else is different. Also, the kick panels are different from ac to non-ac.
After comparing all the parts, I decieded to go with a 70's pickup heater box to gain a lot of space on the engine side of the firewall. The blower motor stick out on that side, but everything else is under the dash.
EDIT: I'm looking for a non-ac PS pump bracket and pulley if anyone has one laying around.
