Default 1964 Red car Blue car insulation delete

Often wondered how much insulation was left out of these "Wangers" cars given the order/build sheet to delete insulation. Starting from the top down, the roof carries a heavy 1/8 to 3/16 inch pad that seems to have a tar like additive. Then a lighter "sound deadner" of about 1/2 inch. The sail panels have an insulation pad at both sides. The kick panels and package tray carry an insulation pad also. Under the upper dash, a pad is also used. The firewall pad probably had to stay. So getting to the real heavy stuff, the very heavy tar pad under the carpet. However early magazine coverage show the wheel house undercoating on the front and rear. (not really an insulation but more of a protection from rocks) Hood pad looks to be installed as well.

Maybe Tenny knows if any insulation exists in the above locations.
