Well its not that hard.
Smaller radiatior/condensator. you put the mouth of the bitch right in in the grill and you notch a bit of the front passenger rail to fit the massive downpipe between the ac compressor and the the front facing header you are going to fab.
that is kinda my plan..
Now that I read it it doesn't look like the image in my head..

But then you realize that the power steering runs to the condenser.
And the transmission Fluid lines run through the radiator.
Once you remove a that, and say **** I'll just remove the ac too.
You notice there still isn't any room for a decent down pipe.
Maybe with custom engine stands. The stock ones are really bulky.

I had the same idea for a dp on my gto possibly....accept I was gonna do 4inch split to two 2-1/2 inch pipes. 2-1/2 pipes for packaging reasons, I just don't know if they will flow enough for 700whp.

Only way I can really see it happening and it making this so much easier for yourself is to tube the front of the car after the shock towers and do motor plates. NO MOTOR MOUNTS lol

I am sure it will turn out spectacular. I would not expect anything else although I am very shocked you actually did follow through getting rid of the silver car! Thought it was a much better platform. Dont they sell twin turbo kits for these newer camaros?
