Don't think so Sammy...

The pad doesn't provide any sealing on any level. It simply protects the evaporator box from the heat generated by the passenger side header.

Is it important to have? The one on my 93 is falling apart & if isn't that important to have I won't worry about replacing it.

Sammy, I would look at the weatherstripping around your doors to start with & then make sure your cab mounts are tight & the bushings intact.

Lot's of folks have removed theirs and have suffered nothing negative. Actually, they've suffered nothing at all.

If you don't care if it's there or not, I probably wouldn't bother with it.

Personally, I just like having all of my pieces where there supposed to be.
