Jay,
The cowl drain hose hole in the dash is to the outboard side of the vehicle, and the box.

Sorry about that. Well the easiest way to describe which way it goes is to tell you look closely at the battery hold down rod sockets. Notice they are not centered. Install the tray so the both hold down rod sockets are towards the dash.
