how to turn panel into junction box.

The inspector told me I had to turn our old house panel (now acting as a sub panel), into a junction box because of the metal bar from the airconditioning didn't leave it 36 inches of cleareance look picture. So remove the air conditioner metal or make a new subpanel basically.

the inspector told me to take breakers out of panel, screw a lid on, and send the wires into another sub panel, the panel in the picture becomes a junction box.

Problem is I don't know best way to attach the 2 inch or so pipe to the old panel in the pictures. I cant use the knockouts provided because it is buried in the wall with stucco over them. or do I break the stucco and use them? or do I drill a hole in the front of the panel big enough to cover a 2inch opening and head straight out? there were only 10 breakers with 2 grounds in here it would be moving about 22 #12/10 wires.


big picture one right old house panel intended to be junction.
