67ChevyRedNeck is doing a write up where he describes the install:

You can download the templates and print them out (pages 19 and 20):

I ended up moving the location provided by the template because the vent wouldn't fit quite flush (the dash is curved). I measured 1 1/2" away from the side of the door (inboard) and 1 3/4" up from the bottom of the dash. There's a brace behind the dash that you will have to trim to allow the back side of the vent to screw on correctly, but it was pretty simple. I can take pictures if you need. I borrowed one of my billet aluminum vents from my 48 to test fit and it fit quite well.

I talked to Vintage Air the other day and I think this is evaporator/control panel I'm going to put in the Suburban/CrewCab, the Gen IV an it's all electric.

They are also working on retro-kit that will allow you to use the factory unit with this kit (no time frame given).
