[gord14080]

I am installing The ac defuser the plastic piece that directs air to drivers side and Center vent ,what is the connection to the evaporator box ?

Your bench looks clean compaired to mine. You can still see room for more stuff.

I forgot to mention, the rubber sleeve is glued on to the evaporator housing.  It slips over the plenum in the center.  You can see a bit of a shiny strip near the rubber.  Thats the glue.  So when you install the evaporator, you slide the rubber up and over the center air distribution plenum and then place the support straps under the evaporator.  Still a pain.  You have A/C hoses already connected to the evaporator, so freedom of movement is restricted.

I probably have the piece of rubber you need. If interested let me know at abandg@aol.com. I will dig it out if you can't find what you need and will give you a price if I have it. Thanks Gene.
