Default Would this work to keep a/c with a truck mani kit?

Here is an alternator relocation kit for $160 that mounts it to the top drivers side..

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-LS1-High...item1e7343e364

And here is a kit that comes with everything needed to remount the a/c compressor to the top left and comes with a sanden compressor for $397.

Not trying to be an ***. It might but I think it will be too wide and hit the shock towers. Email those guys and get some measurements and check for yourself.

It looks like the belt would be in the way of the truck manifold....could also be the angle of the picture. Where did you plan to put the A/C compressor?

What about these guys? http://kwikperf.com/

Yea after going and actually looking at my car there is just no way the a/c compressor is going to fit there.... I think the alternator would work with some moving off the abs unit, but the compressor is going to hit the shock tower... Back to looking for ideas to keep the car cool without a/c lol....

Dude why not just use a c6 manifold on the pass side and end it? I don't Get why people sacrifice ac and a sway bar for no reason at all.

Really? You're going to relocate an ac compressor, make custom lines, and god knows what else and get rid of the sway bar... Or order a $350 k member (200 used) loose a bunch of weight and leave everything alone.

Is it true without the a/c the defogger won't work? Like when it's rainy and your windows fog up you won't be able to defog it ?

Yes, the ac takes the moisture out of the air.

I've heard that, but I've also heard a/c isn't needed all you have to do is turn the defogger on and the air blowing against the window will clear the fog

You can turn on the heat and it will take away the fog as well.



Quick Reply: Would this work to keep a/c with a truck mani kit?
