I dont like using the AC hole because its too far away. Thats a lot more line considering the source is right next to the hole near the brake booster/

Believe it or not the holes around the clutch slave that have the rubber grommets in them are NOT on every MX6, all the 626's have them and the MX6's with vin# starting with J have them, but my US built 89 mx-6 gt, nor does the white 89 GT I sold to Rob (use to be GTboi's) also US built So some US built MX6's dont have the holes.
I figure these holes are for right hand drive set-up so only cars built in plants that put out both left and right hand drives have the hole.
My 89 GT also came with AC which eliminates two other useful grommets on the passenger side.
For the SDS EIC and Boost gauge I passed them through the main engine harness grommet.
For the Wide-band
I removed the block off plate for the Automatic shifter cables just behind the ECU, 2 10mm nuts hold it in place, you undo it under the dash, there is a plastic cover that pops off to expose the nut's, then you have a metal plate with a piece of rubber on it, remove the rubber from the metal, drill a hole in the metal plate and plastic cover large enough to pass what you want to through, then cut a small x in that spot in the rubber so you can slide things through. To protect what ever you run through the plate from chaffing just put a short piece of rubber hose (gas line, coolant line, vacuum hose... what ever is close to the right size) over the wires or boost gauge hose where it passes through the fire wall
Then finally for the boost controller (After a confusing search for the non existing rubber grommet net to the clutch slave that I used on many other F2/F2T's) I had to brake down and drill a hole in the fire wall.
Myself I T the boost gauge into the vacuum line going to the Fuel Pressure Regulator that way I see the how many pounds of boost the FPR is reacting to .
