Default Need some help with assembly.

Hey all, Just had a couple of quick questions because I cannot seem to figure them out on my own. I have bought about 4 different size/type firewall grommets and none fit the large hole (I believe for vacuum lines) that is at an angle next to the brake booster. I've bought the 4 line, 3 line, etc and all are way too small. Any direction to find the right one? Also, the T-top center trim, does the front edge of it tuck in between the windshield trim clips and the roof frame lip or does it go behind the roof frame lip and is there a seal or anything involved? Next, (This is on a '77) I want to know if the harness for the power windows with the relay is necessary to make them work or can I just run wires to switches and then to the motors? And last, I have an MSD 6AL box and I should be able to run the distributor spark wire to the ignition power on the box correct? I know this is long but I've been saving up so I don't keep posting question after question. Thanks in advance for the help.

Purchase the 77 assembly instruction manual (AIM). It will show and list the original part number for the firewall grommet; it will also show the t-bar trim installation.

I would be hesitant to run the power windows without the relay.
