TY for the response.

I intend to so an LS swap but want to maintain the carb/old school visual. I didn't realize a certain intake might be an issue over others if wanting to use the faux BBC covers so the clarification helps.

So it has been a while since I posted, but there has been a lot of work going on in the garage. As I have been working on wiring, getting it routed under the intake and such. Then moved to the trans tunnel. I had made a template, and a friend was going have his metal shop that does work for him to bend it up for me. Waited for over two months, and nothing. So, I went and picked up some metal, and decided that since another friend has a metal break, then we would give it a try. I will say, it worked.

Before I welded it in, I put the seat belt bolt backers in place, and also cut the hole for the shifter. I also welded in thicker material under the shifter opening, so that I can put on a rubber boot.

Moving on, preparing for the engine harness to go through the firewall, I decided to use bulkhead connectors. If I ever need to remove the engine, just twist the plug and remove.

I then got the engine reinstalled into the car, to do more test fitting. Now, it is time to cut the harness and work on getting it all in place under the dash.

Now for a question. There is a connector for the A/C Pressure switch. On a Vintage Air unit, will it be in the inside of the car? Not sure where it would be on the outside.

Thanks.

Bill

The ones I've had are usually built into the hard lines right at the condenser or in the drier itself. I use a trinary switch (instead of binary) if using electric fans.

Thanks Jodi. I thought it may be there, but wasn’t sure.
