I noticed my new acquisition was missing some metal from the engine compartment, near where the AC compressor would have been. I assumed the PO hacked it apart. Then I find a Google image that shows it's apparently a removable piece. Anyone know what it's called and how I would find one?

That was part of one of the kits dealers installed back when these were new, I've never seen one for sale, or on a parts bus, seems they were plastic and didn't stand up well.

Can’t imagine I’ll be able to put a seal in there without fabricating something

You can cut the missing piece from a donor bus. Weld it in and repaint.
