I have an extra a/c lower dash at the house with easy access for any dimension you might need. Could even make you a template and mail.

I could use this too or would even consider replacing my lower dash with a 69 ac dash. I already have two pairs of factory lower vents.

I will just post then tonight

Here's the how I made the templates, taking note of where/what I squared it up to. I went and traced the template back onto a 

8 1/2" x 11" sheet of paper and will scan into a PDF tomorrow am and post. I noted the measurements on the 4 sides to insure its to scale after you print it out.

Thank you very much Caseyrhe for all the work that you have done with this,looking forward to the PDF & hope that it sizes up right when printed.Regards Phil

PDF, let me know if anything else is needed or you have questions as to where I squared it up.

I printed it out from the link, mirror image, so should be good to go.

Cool, thanks for taking the time to do this. I'm going to try get time to modify my dash this weekend. One question though. I noticed on the actual ac lower dash that the edge of the metal around where the vent sits is rolled in a little and is flat. Does the vent actually sit on that bent part and is recessed a little, or does it sit on the outside edge of that on the regular curved part? 

[Caseyrhe 650]

The factory vent inserts I have, which I removed for making the template fit flush on the lower dash. Nothing is recessed into the lower dash. 

[Caseyrhe 650]

Phil, did you get the templates I sent you?

go to classic air or vintage air and download the instructions for the Mustang specific kit. There use to be templates in the instruction downloads.

Thanks very much Caseyrhe they have just arrived in the post,it is very much appreciated all the trouble you went to do this & post them to me. I am going to buy a lotto ticket here in Australia & hope we can share in a win. It will be a few weeks before I get a chance to cut the holes out in the lower dash,I will let you know how everything went. All the best, Regards Phil

I know this is almost four years old but I want to do the same thing.  Cut my non-AC dash for AC vents.  The pictures and pdf file are no longer linked.  Can someone send them to me or re-post them here?  Also, wondering if v8ford70 or anyone else was able to accomplish this?

Thanks Rod

@Caseyrhe and @v8ford70 are still active on the forum, you may want to try PM-ing them.

I PMd Casey and he sent it to me in an email, so I'm uploading it here.

Hopefully this can stay up for anyone else who finds the thread
