I was looking at AMD's website and noticed the firewalls for the A/C cars dont have the opening for the drivers side vent. Don't A/C cars have a vent on that side, or does it come in from somewhere else.

All the vents attach to the (A/C &) heater box

No vent on the A/C cars. All the air is taken thru the right side plenum opening and into the heater/AC box and then vented from there thru the ducts.

There is no passenger side vent either. What may be throwing you off is that a lot of E bodies are missing the ductwork that goes from the heater box to the driver side vent. It goes underneath the steering column and then up to the vent opening. Radio, dash and other work required its removal and a lot of them never had them put back in. They are not exactly plentiful on the used part market.

Likewise the narrow trim piece that screws to the bottom of the dash panel to help hide said same duct work.
