Default C6 Manifolds for Turbo Build

I'm considering going with C6 manifolds for my turbo build so that I can have the luxury of running AC if I want. I have a set of truck manifolds that are v-banded now. Can someone tell me how the C6 manifolds are oriented to allow AC? Is the driver side manifold used on the passenger side the same as the truck manifolds? Also, would it be easier to use the truck manifold still on the driver side, or should I just use a C6 manifold there too? Thanks guys

Using c6 on drivers side will have to be pointed to the rear due to the steering shaft... My plan before i got a speedinc setup was to do both c6s and was going to retry after cutting flanges off but never made it that far

Ok thanks. I can just use my truck manifold for driver side then. I'm assuming you use the driver side c6 manifold flipped for the passenger side?

U can use either side of the c6 manifold on the passenger side. I think most people and the huron speed kit uses the passenger side manifold on the passenger side though.

I used the drivers side manifold flipped forward and it still cleared just fine but my kit was built that way.

On a side note I will sell u a passenger side c6 manifold I didn't use lol.

Mel, I'd love to have them, but I'm not quite ready to buy them yet. I just finished getting married, and my wife and I are cutting back for a little bit to get some money built back up. Once I get ready to buy I will see if you still have them. Thanks everyone.

They allow you to keep ac on a foxbody with an ls swap. Here's my car.

Too bad you aren't local to me. I would just give you my LS3 manifolds. I have no use for them. I couldn't see tossing them in the trash.
