I am hoping to. I have the corvette bracket as it hugs a bit tighter to the engine. The main concern at this point is manifolds. I may have to make some custom manifolds or modify some to be able to run the AC.

Im sure anything is possible with a little cutting. What is the issue typically with them not being reinstatement after a swap?

Donno. I think most just leave it off due to weight. The ls mustang swap seems to be mostly done for drag racing. Mine is too, but it will be a street car also here in the south where 100 degrees with 95% humidity is not uncommon, lol.

I don't have really anymore pics, but we built with one for ac, he just needs lines made and it'll all work, everything clears, stock manifolds on both sides, no custom header!

Nice, what size downpipe? 3" That is part of what I am going to have to figure out. I will have a 4" downpipe. I am thinking about trying to sneak it around the factory front spring area and switching to coilovers.

I don't think he mentioned it, but what manifolds? Truck?

Yes 3" DP, they were manifolds, but not the normal truck ones everyone uses. 4" downpipe will be a challenge, I have a 3.5" downpipe in my ltd in the fender, I don't think 4" would've fit though.

I did see in a magazine the use of a Trailblazer and a pontiac G8 manfold. I can't recall which side was which though.
