[Vwdiesel] Rabbit Dash question

[Fernando Fiore]

    Oh, also what about A/C box and ducting?  will the evap. box fit under
the dash? ( I think it will, b/c I have the euro console in it now, and the
rear contour of it follows the a/c box)  I plan to try and use the factory
wiring, and mount my PA heater control unit somehow... Feel free to tell me
that plan is impossible and dumb if so.
