The way Im doing it would be REALLY REALLY difficult. I will have the turbo on the passenger side and the downpipe will run right through where the box for AC would be so even if the compressor for the AC was on the drivers side like 85-87 cars, the tubes, core, and fiberglass box would probably melt from the heat.

Anyway you do it it would be REALLY REALLY difficult. There is no way in hell I could have kept it with mine.

look into an aftermarket AC setup. The bulk of them tucks under the dash..and leaves alot more engine space than a stock setup.
