i have heard you can do a corvette manifold setup and buy a turbo kmember and you will be able to keep ac. not 100% tho

yes, i am just starting my build. you need a pass. side c6 manifold and a pass side truck manifold to do this. you will also need a turbo k-member. i think kytp makes a kit that keeps the ac using these manifolds.

Default front mount turbo

there are several kits that would work with just about everything in stock placement. some of these kits are not made anymore... try doing search and front mount, ptk kit etc... there is a ptk mock up still being sold on (rhyms with leebay) that is so far a very nice kit, do search there for ls1 turbo kit/ ls1 turbo manifold kit. The stainless welds and flanges are very nice, so im told and shown.but if u need to keep your a/c etc u will def. need a turbo k-member and relocate your alt. i just dont see how you will get a DP or any other pipes thru without doing some relocating. good luck on this man.
