I just did this today. Because the new switch has reinforcing at the base of the capillary tube where it connects to the switch box, I could not bend the tube enough, particularly in the area of the reinforcement, to clear the inside of the console.

On my 1985, the inside of the console is hidden from the outside by the cover in back, and on the inside, by the AC switch fascia butting up to the top inner console. I got out the Dremel and opened up a slot in the top inner console where it can not be seen. The capillary tube now gently curves up into this new hole, then back down through the normal path to the smugglers box.

Good luck

Paul
