<VV> first question - don't do it!

[Ron]

I disagree!  There seems to be no real need to secure the heater duct to the 
floor so disconnect it from the underside and the starter and heater 
distribution box are a breeze to access ever after.  On mine it has been 
hanging free for at least fifteen years now.
