One alternative is to pull the dash and put sound deadening material on
all the sheet metal up front.  Of course, since you've got the dash
pulled, you'll likely want to replace all the foam seals and the heater
blower motor . . . as long as you're there . . .  :^)  Good time to
replace the temp. control cable too . . .
