Okay, so the evaporator box is okay in the smuggler's box once again. I still need one mount bracket and one clip to close it up. I also need to check cable routing for the power cable. I am thinking it will go with the fuel pump cable up through a grommet under the ducting.
So I need to move the car and I need to get it running to do so. I had disconnected the electrical to move the battery. I just ordered a 33" 1 AWG extender and will route that to the new battery position and then bolt it and insulate to the shorter original cable in the cockpit. I have a few ideas for that. I also made a temporary bracket for the fuse box using the cruise control box bracket mounting bolts. I might just leave it here as it is out of the way but accessible. It is at an angle due to the offset in chassis mount bolt locations. I might make one that attaches to the same location but puts the fuse box vertical...we will see.
I made a paper template and then transferred the shape to the cutting board as the new battery hold down floor. I will purchase a thicker and longer cutting board as I am thinking I might want to mount the AC Compressor there as well. I need to get the new battery in place and hook it up and start the car to move it.
The new battery is a 385CCA 30Ah Weize YTX30L-BS for $80. Classic Retrofit states that they have no problem running with this capacity battery. We will see!
