Thanks guys.

I wedged the box in a big vice and chose my center carefully. After that it's the point of no return so you just have to be confident in your location lol.

I did find having the extra airbox very helpful. I took the hole saw bit to the car and looked at various positions and how they interacted with the DVs and underhood bits. I chose a spot slightly off-center, a tad forward. Since the side of the box has a nice square grid it was easy to relocate that position on the airbox under the knife.
