The swap I'm thinking of was actually in a Focus, which is why I didn't go into detail. Basically he mounted the HVAC panel under the steering wheel, not exactly handy. I've seen it in a Contour as well but can't find an example. That guy had the AC just above the ashtray, the EQ in the regular DIN and the screen in where the HVAC panel once resided. It would probably be an easier swap in the Contour since the console (at least on pre-98s) is arranged in a column and not a lobsided boob shape thing like in the Focus.
Assuming the switches are all electrical and not mechanical like in my 82 Jetta it sould be pretty straightforward.
