Hokay, I want to get this out of the way so here is what I did, hope someone finds it helpful.

First the cleared space as already described.

The Landy fan on the left is held on with a circlip, the other one seems to be a push fit

All the blowers have nearly the same diameters as the air intake moulding so there were plenty of options.

The bilge fan fits into the intake moulding but the assembly is too long so I cut a bit of the moulding

Stuck the bilge blower into the heater box and did a test run with it connected to a spare battery, it nearly blew the back door off:D

All done and with washer bottle etc fitted you can't even see it
