This I feel is an underrated comment.
when doing these kind of firewall transplants the steering and pedals almost never line up 100%.
I did a lot of the same work a few years ago, carried the floors and firewall of the modern donor to a 65 SWB big window, and this was the big hurdle, with the pedals/steering column/cowl in the stock donor position it was several inches too low and several inches too far inboard. we chose to move the column and pedals.
coincidentally, I did the same as you to keep the HVAC fresh air inlet, a tunnel between the donor cowl and the 65 cowl!
