Sounds like they use the engine fan to boost the electrical fan.
Mignt be possible, but I dont have a lot of room between the
fan outputs and the heater inputs. (1600 DP)

I was mostly wondering where the tubing for the fan would be run to go 
from under the back seat to the sides of the engine compartment.
There isa gas tank in there (making me squeemish about running a
saber saw to cut the holes) and not a lot of room.

What kind of fan would give me the most draw? A tube style
inline fan or a squirrel fan? (And some nice, homestyle registers
in the cardboard for the air intake)
