Hey O.K. , how's it going?  I don't think it would make or break anything. I do remember once hearing the opinion that the fan housing plugs should have a small hole drilled into them to keep a small amount of air flow like the heater box's do. Anyone else hear of this?
 and I'm sure you will also plug all the other holes in the rear tin?
