You couldn't have used a non-ac box anyway, the firewalls are different. Those are easy to get. But you could have gotten a conversion box from american graffitti and been done.

Interesting job. Where do you work?

its a place called blast-master in clifton. we do all kinds of sandblasting, but my boss used to be the president of some trans am club, and hes parted out like 12 of them. now he runs the business so me and my friend do the dirty work. on site we have a 74, 77, and 79. hes always looking to buy more. my boss himself has a 76 455 that hes waiting to make into a show car. and the other 3 we have , we are going to make into new pro-touring style cars. we hope to have at least 2 cars from the 3
