Location and installation of Vintage Air gen II mini controls on 1972 240z

Perhaps I will take this opportunity to blow your mind on what the "right way" to use the Gen II system huge cold air output might look like!

I really like this idea for center vents.  Do you also have the side vents plumbed in.  Are the gauges being moved to the old heater control panel area?

The eye balls on the end are definitely in use. The GenII has 3 outlets, so the outside two go to the ends with the eyeballs.

The gauge relocation thing is tough for most to do without serious mods. I have speedhut gauges, so I have all the primary functions in the old speedo (Speedo-tach combo) and Tach (Fuel-oil-water-volts quad). I have AFR in the remaining center hole. Should probably have some fancy clock in there to look all modern and stuff...

The center HCP panel is now a blank canvas. It needs the HVAC controls, and a spot for a nice stereo, and few switches to run things. That's all fodder for another thread. Back to the man's thread now please!
