Well over the weekend I finished trimming the side panels. With 4 outlets per auxiliary evaporator, the driver gets two in the armrest ( existing duct removed and capped under the hood) and two at my feet (still need vents). the lower intake, a bit crude is mostly hidden by the seat. BTW Valspar brown velvet is a very close match to the brown of our dash (unfaded). The passenger gets a duct in parallel to the dash outlets, and two armrest vents, the rearmost outlets are tee'd together, hopefully avoid in any dead spots on the coil. 3 speed switch "enables" evaporator solenoid (blue led backlit push on-push off) switch so fan can run with or without cooling. I may or may not connect the heaters... our OEM side panels are quite malleable with a heat gun, but if there are existing stress cracks, they will split if stretched too far as they did on my driver cup holder. I heated up panel till soft and stretched it using a 3.75" hole saw blade, and let cool. I also cut and stretched hose access With a piece of iron pipe as a mold along the floor. To ensure ice doesn't melt, I also executed the clear plastic shower curtain project, including Velcro and magnetic closures.
