Duct tape over all the seams of the heater/AC box will improve the air (hot 
or cold) delivery a little, after you put things back together. Strategic 
chunks of 'acky-pucky' (really,'plumbers tape') around openings where the 
heater tubes go thru the box sides completes the job. Hope you won't have to do 
this more than once.... 
What year was your car? The two-pod-dash cars have a problem with the 
little clip-on lights for the windshield wiper & washer rocker switches. 
Basically, these two switches won't go back thru the holes in the dash with the 
lights clipped on, and unless you have long skinny fingers, there's not enough 
vertical room to get them on when the switches are installed... Ford fixed 
the problem with the late dash: there are no clip-on rocker switch lights. 
Good luck- J Deryke
