Default Heat Exchanger for LSA Swap

I'm starting to get pieces bought/ordered for my LSA swap into my 72 Chevelle and I'm stuck on what to do for a heat exchanger. Obviously I'm still learning about heat exchagers. In looking, i don't see where it's possible to mount a Fluidyne T-Rex or any low mount HX since I have factory AC. Also, does the HX sit in between the Radiator and Condenser? If so, it looks like i have about 3 inches between the 2 is all.

I was thinking of going the LSA supercharger route on my 65 Skylark but the intercooler was going to be too big on an obstacle for me to deal with. I want to keep my A/C.

I know this is an older thread, but did you even find a solution? I have vintage air AC condenser/accumulator and tranny cooler mounted up front

Have you looked at this AFCO heat exchanger?
