Here is a fast engine access center made to fit a 9000 and up vin car. You cut the center and fit the replacement into the original bulkhead.
There are many options to help the passenger side seating position. The pieces can be built from scratch by looking at the designs that are available or purchased if you prefer to save the time. Hope the pictures will help---Good luck with your project.
