So I bought the AAR radio and have the Vintage Air system on shelf. On my bird it appears I have to remove the passenger side fender to run the AC hoses to engine compartment. I won’t be able to remove fender till the fall as my help is a bit busy. In the meantime I would like to do the center dash vent, climate control panel connections and route the vent hoses. At the same time I would install the AAR (radio), a new dash bezel, and a rally gauge conversion.

For those who have done this job in a bird - if I install these items but not evaporator, will I have to dismantle dash again to connect hoses once I install evaporator or can I do the job in phases like this without redoing a prior phase? Hope my question makes sense.
