made my battery tray out of the FFR supplied metal tray and a plastic base from Autozone.
I cut part of the metal base and welded it on the bottom as a support brace back to the 4" cross member.

So it sits on the front 4" cross brace in front of the engine.

Also welded the O2 bung into the header for my Fast EZ system.

Then installed the AC/heater unit and the heating hoses.

Hi John,

Everything is looking really good. It is hard to tell in pictures but it looks like the AC / Heater is mounted pretty far to the passenger side. I have a red body and the sheet metal for the passenger foot well makes it hared to get the big hoses installed with the unit as far to the right as it appears yours is.
