Well that is an option you should not have a problem with using a nut on the lower firewall mount but looking at the instructions and my previous experience with other VA units that top mount is going to be a bear to get at. it will be a trick to get your hand up and over to tighten it that is why they have a weld nut on the mounting plate.
I am thinking once I get the VA plates here I will weld a stud to the inside lower mounting location. At the top I will bead roll a shallow stepped channel ..... like the one someone might make in a lap welded 1/4 repair. I will weld that to the upper location co that I can slip the unit up under the strip and just mount the bottom with a nut. the rest of the unit will be mounted to the cowl with the front evaporator mounting plate.
