Looking for additional pictures and info. on this project.  Last article was helpful, but had limited pictures and info.  Looking to do the same three item to my 1987 Iroc.  Any addition pictures and dimensions that were not included in the article?  Mainly looking for ISIS, Vintage Air, Ididit details, install parts, etc.

Thanks

Hi,
Glad to hear the story was relevant to your interests.  Regarding additional steps, we were covering new ground with this story and chose to focus on the proof of concept as we were unsure if we could package the GEN IV, ISIS, PCM, and find a new column. Most of what we left out is available within the installations documentation from the vendors. Because the ISIS and Vintage AIr are universal kits you'll have to get familiar with the parts and spend some time mocking them up to see just how you'd like to integrate all the units. I'd suggest ordering a mockup GEN IV from VA and ISIS might sell mockup units as well. With the mockup parts you can start to figure out how you want to mount the units and where making sure you account for all the associated plumbing, ducting, and wiring. It may seem overwhelming at first, but once the GEN IV is mounted to the firewall it will start to fall in place. I'll periodically check in and field specific questions.  
Regarding the threaded mounting bosses, I fabricated mine from tubing and weld nuts which works but is not all that pretty and is time consuming.  I talked this over with the guys at  II Much fabrication and they have gone into production on a machined version that should be available within in the next two weeks.
For fasteners, steel or other odd bits I use McMaster Carr a ton.
