Did you have any luck with Bill Gregory's article, "Bypassing Your Heater Motor?" I seem to remember my front blowers working normally with the rear blower disconnected but I have a "newer" climate control unit.

Which parts numbers will work? Does it have to be a 964 climate control or will similar-looking climate controls out of other models like the 928/968 work? (I'm asking just to widen my range of possible fits.)

I really don't understand what the "newer" ones have that the older ones do not? Definitely an issue if putting a bypass on a '90 car.
