I removed the dash, removed the factory HvAc unit, then reinstalled the dash for transmission fitting purposes. Note the shortenned -factory- gear shift? Of course the -new- transmission tunnel will require more height. I'm pulling all the interior out when I get it back to the shop after the winter vacation. Once back in the shop I'll be getting the pedals in order. I have to move the brake pedal over two or three inches, making room for the electric throttle pedal.
