Default Anyone use a Vette style A2A in an fbody?

Hey all...

I like the look and thought of less turns in the piping running an A2A IC where the in pipe is from the bottom and the outlet is on top curving directly into the T'body.

Anybody running this on their f'body and can you post a pic?

Would there be an advantage vs running around the radiator support other than not having to cut the upper support under the airbox?

Thanks for any input!

But is there an Advantage to it?? I know theres plenty of guys running a top exiting FMIC. Nobody has any input on this weather it's better or worse than the traditional side/side end tanks where the piping goes around the radiator core support?

Something like this......
