Thanks guys. As far as the ac connects, are you talking about the charging ports? If so, they are stock.

Stephen, that was my main goal was to keep the ac. I might go air to water next year, I got some things on the works. The car wants to run a little warm. I might relocate the condenser, and dump the air to air.

If I ever get a chance in the near future im gonna fab up a remote mounted radiator to keep it really cool. If my setup turns out nice that might be the next step for guys wanting to keep a/c. No radiator in front to take up the room and condenser is thin so should be able to fit with no problem with radiator out of the way.

I saw your thread and commend you for the ideas. It is something that I would consider. The problem with keeping ac and a fmic, add a trans cooler, oil cooler, then radiator is you can't get air through it. It will be cooling off here in the next month so things will get better. Plus I had a ps pulley come apart and destroy the ps resovoir and belt. I am upgrading to a aluminum pulley, it might be something to consider, the heat caused the pulley to lose the bond with the steel insert that pressed onto the pump shaft, it started wobbling and tore up some ****. I would recommended this to anyone with a front mount turbo.

Just a 370 and s480 , I wont be up and running till maybe a month or so, still waiting on a few parts but once they come in it should all come together quickly!

Do you attend the meets around here? The one at tea works is pretty popular off bw8 and 45 S

I havent really gone to any meets lately. I went to Lowes a year or so ago, but would like to go to some more. I have heard its pretty good. I might have to check it out sometime.

My dp runs about 1- 1 1/2" from the pulley, it has been okay, but I guess the the bond between the pulley and steel sleeve thought otherwise. Billet pulley should be here tomorrow.

It is easily changed from the bottom. It takes me about 20 minutes on my back, or 10 with a lift.

I realize this is 3 years old. Just wondering if anyone else has made a similar attempt at this. Anyone ever see this car run? Thinking about trying it on a stock ls1 with a 76mm.
