Question REPLACE "retaining strap" WHEN INSTALLING NEW HEATER CORE ??

HEATER CORE REPLACEMENT

To remove the old core, my Jeep manual says to...
"Cut the retaining strap that holds the blower/evaporator...

Do I need to replace this strap when installing a new core?

If not, do I just leave it out?

I have not changed a core on an XJ but when I changed ones in a car I made a retainer strap and re installed it with the strap. I used the plumbers strap with multiple holes in it. You may find something better.
