Can anyone tell me how the cowel vent was trimmed out on the inside of a '52 3100?

What do you mean by "trimmed out"?

On my truck it appears that the PO cut a portion of the heater box that possibly connected with the cowel vent. He then covered this area with carpet and a speaker. When I removed the carpet I have a hole and can see the outside louvers.

There was a plate that covered that opening in that lower right-side interior cowl opening (used with the exterior-air heaters - heaters were not standard equipment).

This is what the original plate set looks like for the 1947-55 1st Series AD without the Air-Flow heater installed. The small round plate installs in the engine bay on the firewall.
