How the $@!* does the l69 intake fit a 91 rs???

I've had the l69 intake sitting on top of my 91 rs tbi for the past few months. I love the top end difference. I've had the l69 sitting without snorkel and tubes, so its basically a warm air intake. With the summer months coming, I want cold air! HOWEVER, today I tried routing the 4 inch round aluminum duct, and on the left side, the AC on the accessory belt completely gets in the way. WTF!

Who has an L69 intake on a tbi and has gotten the cold air intake set up???

on the older cars there wasn't a serp. belt setup so the A/C would be on the opposite side

Yes, and the L69 cars also had the AC hoses routed slightly different, compared to the non-HO cars.

Check out Five7's Camaro... he has the V-belt setup, and the non-HO AC system, and has the HO air cleaner and ducts fitting properly. His car is a 4bbl car, but aside from the belts and AC, nothing else should cause problems.

I'm not sure how my setup would help. The only difference between the LG4 & L69 AC was the routing of the lines on the passenger side. The serp AC sticks up a lot higher than the alternator of the '86-'87 mixed v-belt & flat-multigroove belt setup that I've got.

Yea, the LO3 is just a pain in the a$$ is sooo many ways.

Anyways, I was told in another thread that I'll have to relocate the overflow tank .
This is my other thread in the TBI forum.
