I had to have my line from the compressor to the condensor re-bent.

Mightymouse and riceatr are the ones that made the kit on my car. MM could chime in more here...

I have that type of kit. I have to make the line to the top right side condensor longer and relocate the service port. I also shortened the really long line from compressor to the dyrer. You don't really need to do that though.

Since the radiator was stood up vertically it moved the condensor away from it's orignal location by about 2-3 inches maybe a little more. There was a big bend in the line to clear something that isn't there now making the line to short in it's current shape. I had it bent like someone would bend a brake line. Every set-up will be different though.

We had to custom make an A/C line for my twin turbo C6 kit. As well as get a custom A/C Condenser since we didn't cut the main radiator support.
