It wouldn't take much work at all to run a bunch of temporary 1/4" ID platic tubes to points all over the plane and cowl, with the ends all terminating in a nice row on a block of wood. With a brass insert fitted to a piece of tube coming out of the AI that would allow the AI to be switched between any of the various ends, a survey of relative pressure across and within the entire ship can be made in a single flight.
