Sounds like you have the normal setup for a car with standard AC - count
yourself very lucky. The air outlets at the end of the dash are the same
for either type. What I was questioning you about was the vent down toward
the floor, under the dash, at the extreme right side of the car - right
where the passenger's foot would kick it (thus the name "kick panel"). I
assume you have the vent there. On an AC car, this panel is blank, as the
"brain" is hidden there for an ATC car.
