Default Turbo kits that keep AC?

I am looking at procharger kits for the pure reason of keeping my AC. Is there any turbo kits out there that allow you to keep your AC or will it have to be a custom kit?

417motorsports builds them, but custom kits.

I sent you a PM about a twin 67mm turbo kit I have for sale that retains a/c.

Finally made the move, went FI with a d1sc. Pieced together a kit with a front mount running 8lbs on the stock motor with a blower cam. It's definitely addicting haha, already want to swap out to a smaller pulley. What about yours?

Digging up graves again lol
so anyone? I keep running into threads for non fbody types that get brackets to move accessories around, but nothing specific on ls f-Bodies to keep ac intact. I know some with BMR turbo k members will clear with some effort, but most require losing the ac compressor if you want to run anything bigger out the back end.
Are there brackets that can relocate the ac compressor and Alternator in an fbody? I'd imagine some modifications to the front support will be in order to keep it, but we have to anyway to stand the radiator up anyway for the turbo in front.

There were a couple kits. Mine a twin kit, there was a single kit that was easy and a local guy ran 10.0's with a stock engine heads and all, for a long time. He's since built a motor for it. But no one wanted to pay money for a nice kit. Everyone cries about the price but butchers their car to make some hacked up crap fit that looks like a packaging nightmare and overheats. Spending 10x's the time and effort.
On a side note mine is still running and made 1100 whp (mainline hub Dyno) a couple months ago. Turbos are maxed out too small to make more. Can do larger turbos but not sure I care.

LOL yep, but that's what happens when you use the search features and google... you find answers or at least questions that have already been asked....
I do like the kits from Huron, very well researched and engineered.
