You are on the right track. Common 15A. IECs are a degrade sonically to a 20 A. IEC with a DC 2A3 SE amp, so....I recon hard wiring the AC cord to the chassis will be the best sonically.
The IEC when removed leaves a large hole. I know of NO way to easily plug it up.
I might take a piece of tubing, cut open down its length, and use it over the hole's edges, so the incoming AC wiring does not chaff on the edge of the chassis' hole. I'd use one of the two chassis' empty IEC mounting tab holes to hold a beefy "P" clip which will strain relief and hold in place internally in the amp the hard-wired AC cord.
