LSx boost with a/c

I've been looking around at some cars and i've been noticing a lot of boosted lsx cars but nothing with a/c. I am wondering if anyone has centrifugal sc or turbo cars with a/c they want to share pics of and why this isn't a more common thing.

I have AC on my SC setup. Nothing different from any other AC conversion. Turbo guys often have packaging issues, so it is an extra challenge

Re: LSx boost with a/c

On most turbo setups space becomes a problem, especially for a decent sized downpipe. I was planning on building mine around AC for the car then Bought C5 accessories which wont allow me to use AC unless I mount the compressor up high. Which left me with not many nice mounting solutions for the turbo with a 3.5-4.0" down pipe without moving the rad forward and going to a tubular K-member. All which were not in this year's budget. It can be done thought. There are a few on here with AC.
