Default New To Forums... Advice needed For LS Fox motor-plate and AC retention.

Hello all... I have been lurking around for a bit now and have been able to glean a ton of useful info from the site in just a short time.

I believe that I have exhausted the search function on the topic so have finally decided to post up for a possible solution.

Has anyone ever been successful in running a motor-plate and retaining the AC? Before the flaming begins (lol);

1. I already own a Competition Engineering Plate to get started with.

2. The car will see extensive street/track duty in SW Ohio and N. Georgia,
both of which see some hot days.

3. Last but not least My 3 year old ( and soon to add his younger brother )
loves "his race-car" and it is currently outfitted with the required Child
Safety restraints, and I like to keep him as comfortable as possible.

In addition, it'd be just one more "different" thing to add to the controversy of the LS Fox swap in general. Thanks in advance ! P.S. It has a corvette HB/Pulley Meziere pump and Flaming river Manual Rack.

Run a prius ac compressor
It's electric, no accessory drive issues.

I'm sure its 12v. Entire car is 12v other than the motor IIRC

Anybody else have an idea? The electric route seems to be somewhat cost prohibitive at this time, albiet a good idea nonetheless, and I need to go the more conventional route if possible.
