through dash weld in cage -> vent/duct questions?

okay,

I finally tore out the bolt in cage today to weld in the new cage.
It didn't come with directions though and even though the install/welding itself is pretty much self explanatory, I wonder how to deal with the vents????
I've torn about the whole dash out, but thought I'd ask for directions/help from someone whose dealt with it before.

If there are any write ups or directions on the web, please let me know

If you push the tubes for the A pillar up into the corner of the windshield, you don't have to do anything to the vents. Lay the windshield forward, peel up the gasket at the corners and trim about a quarter of an inch off of the pinch weld.

Works perfectly.

maybe I'll have to take my cage with me in a couple of weeks and have you install it Blaine

I'll look into that though, thanks for the suggestion
