Okay I was wondering what the thing sitting under the cargo shelf was, and now I know what is missing in the dash, thanks. As I go thru this project and the parts that came with it, I now realize that there is a lot missing. The 1600 doesn't seem to have its heat exchangers...man are those pricey! I...
