I have never seen an aftermarket kit for installing HEPA filters in older vehicles.The fresh air is taken in at thebase of the windshield on the passenger side, maybe you could find a small air filter that fits in the opening.Otherwise use the "recirculate" on your climate control to keep the outside air from getting in

Just to let you know, there are a very few conversion boxes out there, for other cars...I'd make mine out of plywood if need be, but rather a molded unit for easy swap of filter. If I can find one I'll inform you. I do not mind tossing the glove box anyway as I have plenty of other storage.
Thanks again for info on duct location and recirc option....I was afraid to mess even with the blend door and was in such pain from working under the dash I took it to Buick so I could have the pain moved to my wallet..haha. Gues I should remove the right seat first.

Would be nice if they offered a compact universal kit, the HVAC boxes vary so much it would be hard to do
