I looked at the back of my dashes and it does indeed appear to have the holes cut out in the metal where the vents should go. I did call vintage air a while ago, but they where not the most helpful. The sales rep told me to go talk to my local dealer. as far as the price, I need a dash pad anyway, and a AC dash cost the same as a non-AC. The real cost is if I try to use OE vents. The price for those, if you can find them in nice shape, is pricey to say the least. The only option would then try to use some the optional Vintage Air sells, and put them in the stock locations. Since my car is a resto-mod, it would not be a bad choice. I just need to find a set of factory vents to measure to see if they have something that fits.
