Do you have a part number for the grommet you are going to use? I haven't really looked for one yet. I was hoping I could cut a 'notch' in the back edge of the hump, so the hump could be removed/installed with the wiring still in place.
I don't know the part number and the internet wasn't very helpful. I know it's a 2.5" diameter hole though because it's the same diameter as the holes I drilled on both sides of the dash for the Vintage Air vents. It was a little bit of a struggle to get the LS trunkline through that hole. I actually had to depin the TAC module plug to get those wires through because that connector was too big. But I was able to work both PCM connectors through (one at a time) with the wires on. If I had to do it again, I would recommend leaving all the wires depinned from all connectors and pulling them through, then repinning.

Here's a picture of the harness that connects the throttle pedal to the TAC module - you can see the grommet on it.
