I also made my own "flat kit". The difference is incredible. Do it. You and your passenger will never be sorry for it.
To make your own you will need to have a custom water pump pulley made which pushes the belt closer to the engine. Then you reverse the belt locations and move the a/c back. Change the a/c compressor at the same time and save double work.
The passenger seat will now go all the way back and like Boss Wrench says, with plenty of leg room.
I personally have no idea why the factory never did it. It just is so obvious a solution.
If you get a kit from Evans he takes all of the guess work and waiting for special parts out of the equation.
