Vintage Air

Do any of you have a 53 to 55 F100 with vintage Air? The template for the firewall hose cover uses existing holes as reference points. My firewall was cleaned of any holes in the body shop therefore I have no reference point when it comes to those.

Just wondered if anyone out there could provide measurements/photos not using existing holes as a reference, to give me an idea where to put that hose cover plate. I may end up having the same problem with mounting the evaporator with not having any existing holes in the firewall.

I'll get some photos and some measurements of mine for you, maybe after I get home from work tonight if I remember or don't fall asleep on the couch.

Denver, don't think you'll need to punch holes in the firewall to mount the inside unit... mine mounted to the sill around the cowl vent and the lower lip of the dash.

Thx, but I needed measurements for the plate/cover that mounts to the firewall where the heater hoses and A/C hoses pass through.
