I tried to install tubes and clamps connecting the forward air vents to the panel vents. When I did this, it became apparent that there's some contact between the vent extension tube (where the tube is secured) and the subpanel structure, since I couldn't get the tube in. . When we installed the panel it required a little bit of force to get it to align with all the screw holes vertically, and we couldn't figure out why - now it makes sense, when I originally assembled the panel I did not have the back part of the vent in place.

We trimmed that tip with the Dremel (awkward positions involved), primed the tip again, and finally installed the vent and connected it to the air intake (and at this point, we secured the tube to the vent extension before screwing the vent in place, which made it a lot easier):

With this, section 50 is complete!
