Answer 1

I grind away that metal with a die grinder. You could use tin snips. the small hose is a transmission vent that curls back down just tie it up to the drivers side where the three gray plugs are. Temporary you can connect the cone directly to the first pipe until you find a drill motor and several stone bits to grind away at the hole next to the battery. I reccomend a Northern tool Harbor freight or Home depot or Lowes for a 1/4 inch cheep drill and a couple grinding stone bits that will doo the trick. If there is not clearence around the Cold air intake pipe it will rubb and make a awfull noise. And do not drive into deep water ever! If you decide to use the rubber coupler not the foam one water can get sucked right into the motor. The air intake is located about 8" above the ground

Answer 2

first the tube is the vent for the trans just wire tie it to brake line from master cylinder and the holes issue get a cut tool like a dremell it will do the job
