Default Where to put a GT45 in a 1998 camaro with A/C?

I just bought another camaro and I was thinking about putting a turbo on it but I'm thinking its gonna be tight if I wanted to keep the A/C (which I do). Anybody have any good advice, or good pics of a front mount with A/C? Thanks in advance!

K-member and a headers with chopped core support and a custom condenser. You have to pay to play.

Search for my build thread. Gt91 with ac. It's tight, but not bad.

Yeah, I'm thinking that might be more cutting than I want to do to the car. Looks like I'm just gonna have to spray it to death. Thanks guys!

The only cutting on my car was standing the radiator up. Otherwise just being smart with placement of everything.

Yeah, I know. I figured since I had a kit on my other car I figured I would turbo the new one but I don't want to cut on it. I wouldn't be looking for much more than high 10's. I figure my other car will go high 11's or so with 100 shot on it so a turbo should be much faster. I didn't want to go crazy.

Ive done a PT8847 (about the same size as a gt45) on a 98 Camaro with stock ac, stock radiator position, truck mani on the left, c6 mani on the right, with 4" downpipe. Search user "Jakson" on here. Its tight but its possible.

Yes. He is planning on pusher fans in front of the condensor. I can answer any other questions you have as well.
