[Mr.Vman]

1976 914 2.0, MPC D Jetronic fuel injection California car. Questions:
To add the center three gauge console. Car has the, DPD AC. Does the console have to be cut down to clear the AC duct? Is there a special upper bracket to mount console to instrument panel. Is there a bracket to console to tunnel?
Will non Porsche VDO gauges work with Porsche sending units? Like oil temperature, oil pressure? There is wire harness that can be bought for adding a gauge console, is the wiring already under the instrument panel?
DPD AC; Is there a bracket available to mount a Sanden AC compressor instead of the old two cylinder York or Techumseh compressor? The front, in the nose AC condensor. With a retrofit to, 134 refrigerant, does the AC condenser need to be upgraded to a modern condenser? I assume replace the AC hoses? Is there a kit out there for a compressor mount and condenser replacement?
Where does the distributor vacuum advance hose attach too? Under the throttle body? Is there only a vacuum hose on retard side of the distributor? No hose on the vacuum advance side (front of distributor)?
This will be a good start, thank you in advance, Steve V.
