I am using a current performance harness . . . I had the 60E rebuilt with some better clutches and reaction shell etc... I'm not currently running the a/c but my harness is wired for it if I ever decide to put it on.

hey widopn, how much room would you say is between the truck accessories and the radiator? i was looking at the House of Boost procharger kit for the tbss. the dedicated belt system adds 2" to the front accessories. think it's possible to fit pusher fans and an intercooler between the radiator and grille?
