some of those aftermarket louvres would fit in there if you can find something that looks period correct. personally, I would hide the a/c behind the glove box like the vintage air system. that would keep you happy from all angles most likely. out of sight, nearly. not gonna freeze the 3rd guys knees. heats AND cools in one unit. parts readily available. downside? price. but weigh that against the other options and how long you plan to keep the truck and what that option will increase the truck value should you decide to sell one day.
a few outlet choices. they could be placed in a lower dash valance that you fab to cover the section of the a/c unit that hangs in sight below dash. that way you don't have to cut the dash up.

that should keep you busy, haha.
Haha you are good at keeping me busy and I greatly appreciate it. And no that's someone else's beautiful truck haha. Couldnt find my dash pic since I painted it 2 tone like that. It came all blue but I loved the 2 tone. Heres some pics I dug deeper and found my before and after finally. My truck looks ok from afar just dont get close. The previous owners did a lazy paint job and let their friends kid do it. But good enough for me I dont have the money for fancy paint I just want to drive it. Plus my daughter then 4 yrs now 6 helps and crawls all over the thing haha

What do you fab these valances out of? 1 looked like a good upholstery guy but ogres looks like it must be molded plastic or metal or something? Not sure I'm a fab person hmm.....
