You know that your panel will accept breakers opposite the sites where you’ve installed what you have? That way all those “Hot” tabs get covered up before you put the “dead front” , and cover for the panel back on.Here's the sub panel. The two breakers on the bottom are spare 15 amp breakers not hooked to anything. I guess I can put 2 20 amp breakers there instead and run two circuits for the lights on one and the AC on the other?

Not only that but you need to balance the panel so all draw is not coming off one hot leg and not the other,needs to be as close to 50/50 as possible,Easy to do in your case.You know that your panel will accept breakers opposite the sites where you’ve installed what you have?

Thanks, I guess I'll start by putting the 2 new 20 amp breakers on that side.Not only that but you need to balance the panel so all draw is not coming off one hot leg and not the other,needs to be as close to 50/50 as possible,Easy to do in your case.
Not to worry, loads are drawn off load centers “phases” as follows: where each of the breaker positions is indicated by the capital letters below. First level, all phase A, second level all phase B. Where two pole breakers are used it’s impossible this way not to have both phases.Thanks, I guess I'll start by putting the 2 new 20 amp breakers on that side.
I appreciate learning from all you guys. I'll post pics when I get this set up. Best to run 12/2 MC ?Dan is right i can see the legs in your panel now that I look.
