here's what I did to stop hot air.

Go by Home Depot or plumbing supply or similar store and get a 3/4" brass
ball valve and 2 - 5/8" barbed fittings with threaded ends that will screw
into the valve. Put it all together, splice this into the heater hose
coming from the water pump and turn off hot water to the heater core.
This will stop hot air from coming out of the heater.
I looked for heater valves in the junk yard once but didn't find anything I
liked.
