I have been looking at alot of front mount turbo installs and it seems that everyone delets the ac when doing them. Has anyone keep the ac intack?
I want to run the a single turbo, but I also want to keep my ac. I have only seen rear mounts keep the ac.

Josh @ Kentucky Turbo can build you a front mount and keep the A/C.

Same here, about Josh at KYTP. My front mount kit he built for my 99 Camaro retains the a/c. Hell, down south, you'd be crazy not to have it (for everyday drivers). I'll post pics when its complete. Thanks again Josh!!!

Any the kits spoke of above, or build your own with a C6 Vette manifold on the Passenger side so you can route it around the AC Compressor...

I personally just dropped the AC, but I figure eventually this car will become my "Max Effort" car so....
