Thanks for the help guys, Im just having the problem of not knowing where exactly to run the cable through from the engine bay? the thing is the cable is already run from the back of my car, so it would be going OUT through TO the engine bay, Anyone have any pictures or a REALLY detailed description? GREATLY appreciated!!!

This is where i drilled. You can see where it came out in the engine bay. It's 4 gauge wire going from my battery to my trunk.

thats for an automatic, right? goes through the whole where the clutch pedal/ master cylinder would be. i had a friend install mine, drilled a hole where there was nothing on both sides, and put in a gromet. i dont have a pic, you just dont to get in there look and feel around

Hey thanks man, but when I just checked mine is set up differently being a 1989, that top left corner of the engine bay doesnt look like yours

Im not too great with cars, there is a resavoir where you drilled your whole through, im guessing clutch fluid since mine is standard transmission?

I cant seem to find ANY holes in the firewell or any space ANYWHERE to even attempt a hole.

This is killing me, I definitely dont want to drill in the wrong spot but I cant even find a spot TO drill!

I drilled mine in the top right if you were standing in front of the car as the viewpoint. It shouldnt be that different.

Yeah now I see, but where your hole is drilled there is a cable/hose leading to a resevoir mounted there with dark fluid inside. Small resevoir, im guessing its clutch fluid possibly? Sorry for being such a greenhorn!

How did you find any space down there? And where does it go through on the other side? A pic would be AWESOME!

You could take the scenic route and go through where all of the ac components go through as well. If you were so inclined.
