Welcome. Nice 71. I like it as is. I also have a luggage rack for my red 70 Challenger R/T S.E. and for my red 70 Charger R/T S.E. I just never liked how they look, so I have not added them to either car after all these years.
The duct and hose was one assembly and the speaker/ blower motor and bracket was another assembly. Once both were installed, they just slipped the hose on the motor.

Looks good. I like it. I used my factory console. My aftermarket PPPC shifter lower bracket I made mounts to the factory mount holes with a riser/block off plate welded to the aluminum post that is "S" shaped and raises the shifter 6" and moves it back 4".
On a 70 so it had the big oval air cleaner. It was notched to clear as I have done on one of my current 440 sixpack set ups also that I did 37 years ago back when I was a teenager.
It's a shame about Hughes. However, it is not that big of a deal to just have a cam ground to a specific grind or have one custom ground to ones own specs.
You would think you guys could have gotten it running by now.....lol. That is a good run that most could never top. Congratulations on the life long friendship.
I like it as is. I have done most of these mods and many more to,my blue Challenger. I say it is your car, do as you wish with it. There are already too many boring stock restorations out there. However, I do enjoy them as much as anyone. They just all start looking the same after a while.
My favorite is the 70 R/T longitudinal side stripes with the hood black out. My blue Challenger has them. My red Challenger is coded for them also, but now has the rump stripe which is my least favorite but wanted it for something different. I like the 71 R/T side stripes also like on my 12...
No, it will not fit with a 15x8 with only a 3-1/2" back spacing. I run 295/50/15's with 15x8 with a 4-1/4" to 4-1/2" on 6 different wheels and tires sets on my cars.
