Ugly as sin, even if it is functional :)

No, I had a much more elegant solution in mind. Either using the existing fresh air channels, or to fabricate something that would replace the spice rack, and existing headliner over the front seats. with a fabricated vent system that would resemble the passenger van vents (or 85 dealer installed AC vents). The difference being that the duct work would not occupy the center of the pop top area, but would go around it.
