I have to plug some holes in my '73 Camaro that aren't going to be used before I can get my engine back in there. I'm using a Vintage Air system and am being told the four holes in green can be closed up. Can you guys help me verify this? Is there anything else I should close up while getting this work done?

Assume you are going to make a new hole for the Vintage Air bulkhead?
I thought the entire VA system runs through the big hole directly next to the passenger side front fender (not pictured here). No?Quote:

Thanks, Don. Any other to include or are those the four to attack?Quote:

The four holes on the passenger side are my Vintage Air pass throughs. The one below that is the bulkhead terminal for the trunk battery.

Well I'm planning to use insulation of some kind. whether it's factory or not, I'm not sure. There hasn't been much put on this car that's factory.Quote:

My AC hoses run inside the fender and those holes are where they need to be for the lines to exit the fender and go through. If I ran through the large vent hole they'd cross out midway through the footwell.Quote:

The hole towards the middle, above the transmission tunnel is perfect for your EFI harness.

I was wondering about that. Thanks so much for bringing it up. The Terminator X Max is basically being placed right behind it on the firewall, yeah? For people who do block off that hole, where do they normally run the harness?Quote:

These are heat shrink harness passthroughs. I plan to use the large one for the harness. It fits a 2" hole.

Or put an amphenol type detachable connector. Unscrew the engine harness at the connector, flip the wire harness over the engine, and yard that hombre out
Where are these from. I have never seen this style before.Quote:
