RPM 1,190 Report post Posted December 29, 2014 Does the vent in the kick panel need to be installed before the heater box and lower dash? It's only been about 180 months since I tore down the car, and my body assembly manual doesn't say. Thanks. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1969_Mach1 333 Report post Posted December 29, 2014 The kick panels and fresh air vents can be installed at any time. They do not interfere with the lower dash. I would install the heater box first just to be safe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RPM 1,190 Report post Posted December 30, 2014 Be sure to install the drivers side vent before the e brake assembly. The good news is that I didn't have the cable attached yet :) I don't have any cables or electronics hooked up yet so I removed the heater box and lower dash. That only took 10 minutes and made things easy. Thanks guys. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JD08 42 Report post Posted January 3, 2015 Nothing like getting the car home and noticing the car has fresh air vents. It's a factory air car and I will probably never use them, but sure enough, I just had to try them. Only to pull the cable and have it come out because it was broken halfway in.

Fix the fresh air vent. Some people remove them. I thought about removing mine for front speaker mounting but then realized even with A/C there is no fresh air setting on the HVAC controls like on modern cars. So, I left my fresh air vents in.

JD08 42 Report post Posted January 3, 2015 Oh I'll fix them because it will irritate me having some part that doesn't work. It's project #324 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guillaume69 150 Report post Posted January 4, 2015 +1 on ebrake first on driver side. I made that mistake and that pissed the hell off me. Additionally, no A/C car here and I can tell you these vents are really getting a nice air flow in the car when opened and cruising at 60 mph. I will never get rid of these!
