An A/C body and a Non A/C body are two different bodies. Not just the firewall.

The car in question is a beautiful car. The new owner may not even care if it is a real W-31.

I would say we are beating a dead horse at this point however in the spirit of accuracy and correct information, please show me where the bodies are different, but for the holes in the firewall. Here is a picture of the firewall pad, non ac top vs ac bottom.

I know this is off topic from the original post and sorry for hijacking.
The non AC cars bodies have Upper Air Outlets. The AC bodies do not have these. Totally different. As Jeff states, it can be done....yes but it would be a PITA to do it correctly.
