Re: Shaved another one!!!!!
Here are several. I like a clean engine compartment as well.
If it wasn't so hot here I would have one as well. I have Vintage air and it makes for a clean engine compartment. http://www.southernrods.com/categori...oduct-867.html http://wheels-of-time.com/streetrodh...trolvalve.aspx http://performanceparts.com/part.php?partID=795

You need the supply hose off the waterpump and the return hose to the intake.

You would have to cover the opening and reopen the hole for the smaller heater box. Or, weld in the part of the firewall that is for the heater only box. Or, cover the area completely then drill two holes for the heater hose block that would mount to the firewall accepting the hoses from the engine. Or, keep the stock heater/ac box and only use the heater ports. (just the two hoses that hook to your intake manifold and water pump. (usually look about 1/2-3/4 in hoses)

Re: Shaved another one!!!!!
Less work but it helps get around your huge A/C box is to get a delete panel like I did on my GMC.
