the lines come through in the raised panel just to the right of the parking brake cable pivot. I will try to get a pick in a bit.

Thankls Brett! I,ll be looking.
Here are the pics of the location of the three(two refrigerant and one wiring holes)
Used a tape measure to help you out. when I added OEM A/C to my piggie, I had no reference, so I just used what worked out. I removed the copper lines, and used the bracket holding them a guide to the location for the holes in the firewall once I mounted the evaporator, which was also a pain.
Tricks for mounting evap: take the time to pull the firewall pad out of the way. Take the top bracket off the evaporator(the one with the stud, and mount it using the three other mounts for the time being. Bend a light guage sheet metal L to mimic the bends of the bracket with stud, and place a hole in it exactly where the stud would be. mount this, and mark the firewall... drill and reinstall bracket.

Thanks Brett, but I think im just gonna have to best guess what I can see and fill the rest of the hole up with Dum Dum putty. Mine are vertical instead of horizontal.
Looks like a Clardy unit.

Makes sense. It was a dealer installed part not a factory installed part.
