This was my original ideal , but I don't think its going to work. The pass. side exhaust manifold is going to hit the compressor , and i really want to keep A/C especially down here in miami.

This is another ideal , maybe this set up might work. I could keep the A/C compressor with the manifolds pointing up, but. . . . I would have to sacrifice Power Brakes due to the brake booster hitting the driver exhaust manifold. I will see what else comes to mind. Any suggestion would be really appreciated . . .
