Default turbo kit fab question...Truck mani+pham/TTI?

hey guys i have a question about the truck manifold turbo setup with a twist.

The truck setup is awesome and i really like the idea of it...however i might be a bit leary about removing my AC...

so i was thinking about getting a used Pham kit as they are goingn for fairly cheaply in the For sale section....

But i was thinking what if i put a truck header on the driver side facing forward, and a stock header on the passenger side facing backwards, and then run the pipe very similar to TTI/Pham up to the front of the car(under k-memeber) with dr.gas ovalised piping.

of course then the downpipe will also go under the kmember with oval piping.

I dunno what do you guys think?

Thanks
Louie

if it was me I would run the pipes over the k-member and it can be done without losing AC as many people have done it. Do it right the first time and be done.
