AC conversion on a 66 questions

I looked first at the FAQ and didnt see a specific on how to take what I have and add AC and make it as close factory as possible. My truck only has a single pull heater knob to the left of the radio and a solid plate where the AC controls would have been on the right side of the radio. Thanks to CorvetteJim and his killer work I have the central vent assembly and I plan to order the vent box from nsb29.

From what I can tell this is pretty close to factory here and what I thought the final arrangement would look like on the dash..the pic isnt mine so I hope the owner doesnt mind.

I was planning also on buying the Vintage Air Surefit IV here

but Im confused about the knob controls and if I can get the dash to function like the 66 factory controls would have been.

Since I never had deluxe heater controls would I need to first find a set of slider controls that are positioned on the left side of the AC Vent Assembly I guess and then drill 3 holes in the dash panel to the right of the AC Vent Assembly? In the assembly pdf it looks like the 3 controls do it all and that I dont need the left side heater deluxe sliders

I cant seem to get Vintage Air to reply or calling their help line isnt working it just puts me on hold. Anyone been down this road lately and can help me figure this out? The main reason at the moment Im trying to solve this is that I have the interior close to being ready to paint, but I would like to have all the dash components that need paint ready to shoot at the same time vs painting them later and having paint match issues.
