Turbo LS G-body with A/C?
Anyone have any pictures? I've seen lots of LS cars with AC and lots of G-bodies with turbo LS's but usually it's one or the other... Already committing to AC but would like to go faster down the road

. Were those stock truck manifolds or f-body?
I`m putting together a 5.3 4l80e turbo monte SS with A/C and power steering, but I could not get any manifolds to fit, they all hit the heater box. I had to build manifolds out of schedule 10 stainless. Everything is really tight when you try to cram the 5.3l with turbo, A/C, cruise, intercooler, and everything else in there. I will try to remember to snap some pics tomorrow.

It can be done
Go to turbobuick.com
scroll down to v8 conversions
using march pulley set up
w/modified stainless works up and foward headers
still have not finished all the way going to use vintage air
aftermarket under dash
good luck

I cut & reboxed my frame behind idler arm for factory ac to fit, also small notch in crossmember.Compressor in pic is sanden 508 with brp mount kit, which has more clearance than factory compressor did.

I'll post a couple of pics a friend's GN with a 5.3L / ON3 76mm combo. His also has the truck compressor and bracket.

Looks like that is a Denso 10S17 with a chopped stock bracket. I wish I would've known about this before ordering the Holley bracket as the Holley bracket puts the compressor up and high on the passenger side right where the turbo down pipe should go.
Need to find out what these came on so we can find them in the junk yard. Already have the bracket.
