I mentioned in my first post that I used an A/C heater box with the evap. removed to relocate the blower motor. I posted a photo of the heat shield installed over the large hole left behind, but not one of behind the shield. After sealing the hole in the box, I used a section soft foam, then a thin section of a dense closed cell foam. It was black until I painted the engine bay, but it will be hidden so I did not care. Some people out there with A/C cars might notice the 2 extra bolts sticking through; The non-A/C cars have the 4 around that hole, the A/C cars only have two there. I needed to plug the holes AND install a heat shield, so I installed those two just through the firewall. All 4 have nuts on them in the photo, THEN washers; this gives me about .5" between the firewall and the shield. I have hosed it down to test, but have had no water in the car. BTW: I installed the shield to protect the foam from heat and other forms of damage.

I also talked about installing a FMIC. I did not need to trim the stone deflector, but the hood latch brace that goes to the bottom of the radiator support was in the way. Some people just remove the brace, but it leaves the latch bracket very unstable only being attached to the top of the radiator support. I made a new brace, but mine mounts THROUGH the stone deflector instead of behind it. This helps keep the hood from vibrating and more secure without the use of pins, and secures the middle of the stone defletor. Also, the upper part of my brace mounts the top of the I/C.
