Battery Relocate
While adding Air Conditioning I was looking at all the A/C hoses, heater hoses and expansion tank it seemed to me that trying to remove the battery at later date would require draining, disconnecting and/or remove lots of STUFF. It also looked like just trying to get jumper cable on would be a pain. Some say it could be done but I decide to relocate the battery from the passenger’s side to driver’s side.
I took a few pic’s as I did the relocate and did a brief write-up.

Hope this can help someone in the future.

Nice job.
I also have the access panel in my LF fender.
The panel mounting bolts are also a handy place to hang the cruise control servo and the windshield washer jug:

This is perfect timing. I'm a couple months from sending my car to the body shop. I am going to install A/C in my non-A/C '64. Is the filler panel the same as used in the factory A/C cars? I guess, my question is, is the filler panel built into the fenderwell on the A/C cars, or is it bolted in as you did? Just wondering. Thanks for the very informative tech article.
