Thanks - and good tips as always.
Just finishing off the sheet metal welding in the door pillar and foot step on passenger side. Then going to rust treat with some POR15. After that going to let the wife do the interior insulation ...... cutting and setting all the matt ...... guess I'll have to get the transmission floor shifter in place first though.
Something like this maybe.

Asides that ......... like you said going to try and move it as far back as I can. I *think* I have plenty of verticle room looking at where the hood would be if it was on ........ but hard to know for sure without pulling it out which would be a bit of a drama.
I gave up on AC stock fitment - went with Billet ICT relocation
