Hmmm... that air filter sits right were the PS pump will go.
I'm eager to see the A/C compressor mount solution.

Thanks for the words of inspiration Pappy 
Here is how mine comes through the firewall.
NICE!! That is the way they are supposed to look... Are you painting the firewall??
Geez, not you too. Go here and go down to post #40. Truck is currently stripped. I hope to fix that after I get back from Baja in April.

wow - Randy, I handed you a mess didn't I
The PO really made a mess of the wiring. Iam embarrassed for him to even show it. That might have to wait until after round up to clean it up right.
As for PS - the plan is to use a saginaw pump in place of the smog pump. Then the air filter will not be a problem, and the hoses will be nice and short.
Is is cold in Dallas? It was sunny and 70 degrees here in Austin, so I was able to clean up the Warn 8724 and get it stripped and painted.

Pappy, Matt, Alex,
Are you guys leaving or even using the carb fan? Randy and I where talking about leaving it, and just putting it on a toggle switch and I could just use it when I wanted to. What's you take on it?

I'm not using it, though I do have it. Problem is I don't have the grill on the drivers fender to pull the air from. I think the space under the hood is open enough without the smog equipment that it should be fine.
