1971 Cutlass S anyone know what this part is called?

Need to find a replacement for this vent tube. Anyone know the name of this part? The black tube vent has been cut out.

The "crotch cooler".

Seriously, that's the under dash A/C duct. Any 1970-72 Olds A-body with A/C is a donor.

I have a couple of those if haven't found one yet. I also have the carpet toe kick plate if yours is gone, I see it's not there.

I'll give you $100 if you can show me a 70-72 Cutlass with factory A/C that DOESN'T also have a heater...

For the sake of being pedantic, after doing some looking, heater delete was not available after 68, so they all had a heater, AC or not, and, even if they were available, a heater delete car is a no AC car by definition.

Per DOT requirements for cars sold in the US, however you COULD get RPO C49 heater delete for export cars.
My point, however, was that even prior to 1968, it was impossible to order factory A/C without a heater.
