I don't remove the entire hump. I just cut away the drivers side above the frame rail to the top of the hump and go towards the center of the car a few inches.. I start about 6" from the front and go back to about 6" from the rear. I then box in the cutout. You can do this with sheetmetal if you don't want to try and fiberglass it in. This is what I do with the footwell also. You can gain a few inches of width by cutting the bottom out and extending the footwell to the sides of the frame. The footwell has quite a bit of room on each side the way it comes from CR. If you look at it from the bottom of the car you will see what I am talking about. I basically move the box out to the frame. I don't have any pictures to post because I haven't done one of these since CR started making the small block frame. I'll post a picture of the new frame and this may help. You can see the firewall is attached on top of the frame and the footwell is lowered and boxed with metal. The tunnel is also smaller in width.
