26. Reinstall the heater core and the heater core panel.
27. Lining all of the flaps back up, slide the halves back together making sure that the fresh air flap is lined up with the "V" in the housing like you did during disassembly. This step requires a little patience. Using a pick can help in guiding the shafts into their locations in the enclosure. (See photos 87, 88, and 89) It may be necessary to remove the defrost ducts to get at the shaft openings. (See photos 90 and 91)

28. After the halves are back together, use a few clips (or the screws) to hold everything together. Make sure that all the flaps move freely and that the blower motor turns freely without any rubbing or obstruction. NOTE: If you have a couple of test clips, you might want to connect the Black and Red wires in the blower connector to the battery and test that the blower works correctly. {Once again, you don't want to finish this project only to discover there is something wrong with the operation of the blower motor.}
29. Put all the clips and clamp rings back on the unit securing the halves. Put the 2 screws back in as shown in photo 92.

30. Put new pop rivets in place of the ones that were previously drilled out.

38. Reinstall the foam around the heater pipes. (See photo 99)

39. Make sure that the electrical control cable is in the position as shown in photo 100. This will help to ensure that it is not in the way when it is repositioned into the vehicle.
