Default turbo ls motor in a 71 chevelle

does anyone know a similar build and if they were able to retain the a/c. i want to do a 88mm front mount with the truck manifolds. theres no way i would sacrifice the a/c for any reason. i think the major issue is the downpipe but what about mounting the turbo on the passenger side. any ideas or links to other builds.

They are all over Youtube. Most I've seen mount the turbo on the passenger side and the air filter is where the battery is. I'm sure there is a way if you route the right exhaust manifold exit piping to go around a high mounted comressor. I'm sure it will take custom lines and hoses.
