>From your description, I am going to guess that the part you are
looking for is the under dash AC unit. This was not a stock part,
rather it was part of the dealer-installed made in USA AC package.
The stock dash has a (usually black) vinyl pad on top and painted
metal on the face. The bottom is open. Someone here probably has an
AC dah unit that they can sell you, but I don't recommend the AC.
(Please don't get me started. Perhaps someone else will be willing
to reiterate the many downsides of the AC in the type 3s.)
