Matt,

You asked:
"I got 5 out of six which isn't bad, but how do you get to the left
front one near the AC compressor? Any special technique? Any method of
taking the least amount of parts off to get to the plug?"

To remove plug # 5 remove the idle speed motor (PM 2/5/0 #10). When removing
this component be careful not to pull the brass tube (PM 2/5/0 #21) away
from the mixture control unit. Re-installation of this tube is difficult and
may require the replacement of the O ring seal. (See dherv10 prior posting
"O Rings & Vacuum leaks")

You additionally asked:
".........are there any blanks from Curtis, ILCO,.."

Yes, Taylor (Volvo) blanks are also compatible with DeLorean keys.
