<VV> LM Front Intake Air for A/C Condenser

[Harry Yarnell]

Don't have to cut anything. If memory serves me (it's shaky), there is a 
louvered opening in the far right corner of the trunk near the hinge that 
vents into the firewall plenum. That's the source of air I used when I moved 
the condenser to the trunk.
