I honestly think that I like working on them more than I do driving them. Its sounds stupid, but I got my t/a 14 months ago, completely redid the cooling system, fuel system, swapped transmissions, then drove it a few miles and pulled the F1A off it and put a gt91 on it. It will be over before you know it.

Looks like you have a ton of vertical room for the intake!

ordered some stuff to keep rolling:
Speedway motors Alternator relocation bracket (moves up high on driver side next to PS pump.
1/2" thick stainlessheader flanges (1 3/4" primaries)
stainless 1.75 into 2.5 collectors
T4 flanges set up for 2.5" pipe
still need to order a bunch of stainless 1.75" bends
considering a champion 4 core radiator.

Still need to locate my OEM power steering pump (I can't remember if I sold it or kept it 
But the speedway alt relocation bracket fits great.
Plan is to run the driver side header down under the PS pump and alternator. Should leave room for a downpipe too. driver side will run high, but still need to determine room for downpipe. My A/C compressor is still at my grandparents, so I need to pick it up to mock up later today. Waiting on my turbo flanges and collectors so I can figure out primary routing. I'd like to order tubing and bends for the primaries by next weekend.
I should be picking up rust free doors a section of passenger side quarter panel and a lower core support this weekend to address most of the body issues. Need to order a new passenger side battery tray since its heavily rusted, but those are available new on the aftermarket

mocked up the A/C system...fits pretty good...after doing some research, its possible to use the 4th gen evaporator if you graft the front of the 4th gen HVAC box to the back side of the 3rd gen HVAC box (fiberglass them together). I have a good core 3rd gen box en route to do this with (my OEM 3rd gen one is all busted up).

Scored a HVAC box in reasonable shape....broken in a small area but nothing a bit of fiberglass and time can't fix. I'm going to graft the 4th gen HVAC front section to it anyhow 
. tad snug around #8, but I think there's enough room to easily work with it
.
Started playing around with my header collectors and positioned my header build guide (holds the 4 primaries in perfect position to weld on the collector...
Driver side...I think I'll kick it outboard beside the alternator. currently there's a proportioning valve assembly for the OEM drum brakes in the way, but thats definately coming out
. this leaves the area under the alternator/PS pump to snake a 3" downpipe through.
Passenger side. Keep collector up high so a downpipe can fit between the collector and the AC compressor. this is just an approximate position...I used one of the OEM threaded holes in the head to temporarily hold the plate. It looks like the AC lines should easily run over this area without interference.
