Turboing while keeping a/c

I have an 02 Z28, by what ive been reading if you go with a front mount turbo you will lose your a/c either due to lack of room for a condenser or the compressor. Ideas?

The C6/6.0L mainfold setup is an easy option also as stated above.

I have A/C and the intercooler is in front of the condensor and radiator. Depends where you put the turbo and if you have to move much around. Search around, there are MANY different set-ups to look at.

LOL, yes I am running a radiator, and the front tubular piece is from Burkhart chasis. Here is a pic of it all together. The A/C compressor is in the stock location. I have to go to the A/C shop to get the new lines run for the condensor.
