One layer. The nylon line is probably rolled up like a coil and is hard to fish out through the other side. You have to take the knee pannel off to grab it though, but Im sure you knew that.

just drill the hole in the bottom left corner of the back of the air duct. like onepoint8tee said the nylon line is probably wound up and you just cant see it. try to straighten it out as much as you can. theline is probably hitting something back there so lie down under the steering wheel with a flashlight, take down the knee panel and you should find it.
if you have to, tape some colored tape to the end of theline so it stands out when you are looking for it.
