I just inserted a piece of stainless where the radio and also where climate control were. Put switches where I wanted with sharpie labeling, that way I can rearrange when needed.

what kind of fuse block did you use

I made matching stainless panels in the passenger airbag and glove box openings that a circuit breaker and then relay for each circuit is mounted before it goes out underhood. I mounted relays and breakers on the opposite side so they are facing firewall instead of hanging out where they are visible. Lots of room there because of no heater core or any other ACC.

If it's strictly a puller, spend the time to remove the heater core, blower box, ductwork, and any of the extra wiring for radio, antenna, bose, etc. It will make it super nice for wiring and you'll lose some weight too. I've only missed the defrost at one even this past year.

yea it is strictly a puller. I have thought about taking heater core and blower out for a while since all the ac components have been gone for a few years.
