Classic Auto Air in 67 Barracuda Factory Non AC

I'm not having the same luck with the evaporator fitting.

1st photo, on the firewall you can see the silver dots, is relatively where the speed nuts to mount the evaporator are, 3 lines are touching the firewall, both sides and the bottom

2nd photo, I decided just to cut the firewall for clearance

3rd photo, evaporator mounted in. Bolts in the holes they are supposed to be mounted in, have clearance now with 3/4" cut out of the bottom

4th photo, inside mounts don't line up either

Frustrating, thought this would be fairly straight forward.

I'm dealing with Classic right now. They claim this is the way it fits, which I am saying is certainly not a "perfect" fit. They are trying to blow me off, but I don't go away that easily. I'm also not going to cut my firewall. I'm going to escalate it tomorrow above the first line tech help, if possible. Your pictures will help. They also sell this kit to fit with an RB. The larger AC tube hits the stock valve cover. They want me to tweak it, but for what this cost that is unacceptable. We tried to fit it in the GTS, which is very stripped. I got it bolted up, but the lower heater tube had to be forced. You can see the roughly 4.5" between the bolt hole and the bottom of the heater tube. There is 4.25" from that hole in the firewall to the bottom of the large hole.
