Default Astro Vent Duct

There's a good reason I'm not getting air flow the the Astro vent (eyeball) on the driver's side . . .the (Non-AC) duct is missing!
I know I can source one from one of the forum vendors, but is there a chance someone can share a photo of the installed vent duct?
I took a look under the dash, and with the amount of wiring present in that area, I'm not sure how it will fit.
The last thing I want to do is cram all that old wiring up there and cause myself electrical headaches.

Thanks as always!

Lucky for you my no-ac 72 is "open" and readily available for pics! Glad to help.
Almost looks the same on both sides. Flex hose goes right to "eyeball".

Sorry to interrupt but Leigh, can you post or send me a closeup of that brake switch radio capacitor? I took mine out and can't find it and I'd like to see how it's connected.

Another great big THANK YOU to "ralphspears"!!! I installed the astro duct that he sent me, and fresh air is now flowing through the cabin!
It was a tight squeeze, but I finally worked it into position. Couldn't have done it without you Ralph! (and this isn't the first time he's helped me with items for my car).
I truly appreciate Ralph and all of the folks here that have helped me. CF Members are the best!
