Alan, I haven't installed one, but I believe that there is a vertical door
on the heater box just before it dumps to the AC box. The new fan goes
in that door. Don't know about where it gets it's power from.

I haven't done it yet, but, I believe it is relatively simple.
I'm sending you info on this in a private email. Once we get the bugs
worked out, we can write an article for the magazine.

Terry sells a modified mounting kit for the AC box. It is basically new
mounting brackets that will allow the AC box to align with the heater box.
This kit is about $50.

You can get foam rubber sheets from numerious sources and replace the foam
on the various doors of the heater box.
Hope this helps.
