the two issues that come to mind with that bracket is hood clearance and engine bay clearance.
It seems to sit higher than the TB in the first picture. I know with my swap, that the TB is the highest point on the motor. Anything higher will hit the hood. I do have a firebird though........
It also sits out to the side, and I'm wondering if it would contact the overflow tank. Its tough to say without an engine bay shot to confirm.
Very nice bracket overall. I may have to register on the board and send him a PM about it since he failed to post a price.
Jaysz28 - I've got one ordered from him. Feel free to PM me if you don't feel like registering there.
Also - I've got a GTA and will have underhood shots when it gets put on. I've got a RamAir 1 hood so the hood clearance shouldn't be as much of an issue with me - we'll see.

Reason: Automerged Doublepost
Sorry I didn't notice this thread earlier. I will post more detailed pics of the installed setup soon. I also now have an aluminum kit that is a bit more flashy. I will have pics of that in a few weeks.
I have confirmation that the kit does clear the stock hood.
I would post prices but I don't know how the admins feel about that. So just pm me or e-mail me just to be safe.
The kit is made to order so there is a 4 week lead time, it could be sooner, it just depends on how busy my machinist is. I cannot afford to stock the kit as of now.
I was asked this question the other day. There is no warranty on the kit and I assume no liability when it comes to the kit or installation. I am just a corvette/camaro guy trying to help a few others out, I am not a business. But rest assured that the kit is top quality, I skimped nowhere, no cheep crap. I had over 80 hours into designing/fitting the kit.
Also I have just found a source for a compressor if you feel that you need a new compressor.
thanks for all of the support guys!

Here is a picture of the setup in Ace's car. This was the first F-body kit I did. It is a 92 Formula. The AC lines are right next to the inner fender. He never cracked the lines from the compressor. The overflow will have to be relocated or just run an after market tank.
