Default lt1 style trans am intercooler size & location?

I'm doing a rear mount setup and not sure what size intercooler to get without having to cut or remove any existing structures of the car. I have a 97 trans am lt1 style nose. Anybody have any pictures of their intercooler on this style nose?

I was trying to stick with the ebay budget price range. I've seen a guy put one down low in front of the front spoiler but i'm not sure what size and if that would obstruct air to my radiator.

I posted this (https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...mula-fmic.html) in the appearance section, but I was looking more for a formula front end with an intercooler than a Trans Am. As you can see... not much help.

Check out this thread more towards the end. This is the one I would copy if I had a T/A bumper. https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-m...going-lq9.html

anyways.... if anyone has some pictures for a formula/v6 front end with a front mount I'd like to see them.
