Question...was this how they installed it on the car, and then relocated the gauge pack on the bottom of the unit. What about the early style 68-69 Kadett with the full panel gauges that go to the floor from the dash? I seemed to think at one time there was an A-pillar gauge pod for this???? Any info or pictures would be great, and informative to others as well.

. . . the only
one that comes to mind is the 1.1 Rallye Kadett with ARA A/C in Fort Worth that was on e-Bay a year or so ago, but had title problems, was withdrawn and then parted out. As you mentioned,
the interior evaporator/air-duct unit indeed had the Rallye gauges mounted to the A/C air-duct in the center.
I had already completed most of the
underhood modifications for A/C in my '69 and bought that ARA inside unit, but not the gauge pod . . . already had it installed. Did a lot of measuring before starting my A/C modifications and
can say that the 'early style, full' gauge panel will not fit once the ARA/GM evaporator/duct unit is installed inside.
