HUGE. 

I still do not know if it was worth the hundreds of hours I invested as 2511 will not return to the road until later this summer  

I had to design and build my own mounting brackets. I had to essentially remove the unit’s dash, defrost and floor outlets and design and build my own. I had to replace the right hand defrost duct outlet with one from the left-hand side, and devise my own method of sealing between the unit and the dashboard. I put my refrigerant lines in the rocker panel but if I had not done this, connecting lines running up the center tunnel would have been a plumbing challenge.

 

but because I was building my own outlets I was able to build them to allow for the addition of left-hand and right hand outboard vents. The controls for the unit are just three potentiometers that can be mounted in the location of your choice. No slider knobs to be seen.

this is one of those projects where you will essentially be on your own. If you are brave enough to attempt this you can seek out the advice and experience of myself and others, but ultimately you will be the fabricator and designer for everything you need to complete the project

P.S. - be prepared to take your dashboard in and out at least 100 times.

No, really.
