No air coming off the rear AC vents.

Are you sure they left the duct out?

You would be getting a lot of air blown down into the interior of the console.

The duct work has 2 connections. 1) At the front of the console on the driver's side. The duct is sort of rectangular with the long side on the vertical. It runs along the driver's side of the console under the shifter and the storage compartment. 2) Right there it has a second connection and that is the one that can be easily disconnected with the console put back together.

I can't imagine them removing any duct work to save room due to how it runs through the console since there would be better options, I would think.
