Ive got one and it was a bit of a fiddle to fit but not too bad.The hoses under the dashboard to the heater need a bit of thinking about.I bought some 90 degree silicone hose and joined it to some straight bits. You will have to make up a plate for the bulkhead to mount their hose adapter.I kept the standard fan switch which still works at two speeds. Its a noisy bugger but works very well. Have fun!
Your project is truly stunning, from what you started with. I remember thinking how rough the original shell was especially with a strength point of view but you've completest transformed it. I bet you cant wait to get it out on the stages.

The four screws are dzus fasteners so it just takes half a turn on each to remove the plate
