<VV> Heater shroud followup

[J R Read_HML]

There are 6 bolts holding the shroud in place.  There is also a clip on the 
end of the rod holding it to the damper door.  You have to reach in and 
unclip it from the rod.  It can be a bit tricky the first time or two. 
Actually, putting that clip back on is the real trick.  The hole in the 
right side shroud is likely for a road draft tube as found on only some of 
the EMs.  You can plug it if you don't need it, but I really wouldn't worry 
about it.

Later, JR
