So, after consulting with a few people, I was certain that the dryer from LS1 car would mount right up to the [EVAP box?] of the '95 V6. However, now that we've neared the end of the build and have the motor & dash in, I found that the AC dryer won't reach the fitting coming off of the [EVAP box?], and upon comparing the old & new ones, they're clearly different.
Anyone know what the best way of going about swapping this is? Does the dash need to be pulled, or does it come out through the engine bay side of the firewall (please say engine bay side,

).
I can't believe this is happening

Oh, Mr. Murphy!
