Yes. I got the ford racing gauges in my middle vents, if you look behind the battery in the corner you will find a small gromett with some wiring going through.
This will lead behind the ecu cover and will be next to your air vent hose on the passenger side.
You will have to pull down the hose a bit to see the hole, the hose bends easy.
I've got my boost pipe, water temp caliperery pipe, and oil pressure through that hole.
There is plenty of room behind the ecu cover to get your hoses,pipes, to the middle vent.
Hope this is helpfull to you.

Mine go the other side, the vac guage comes off the inlet, along the bulkhead through a grommet next to the fusebox, then behind the clocks.

The alarm was in the way on the other side!
