Default Procharger F1-A on 97 SS

Time to step up. I have fixed this L98 motor back in 2009 and would like to go forced induction with modest boost to start with and have enough room to grow later on.
The plan is to go with an F1-A with 8 rib drive on Aster bracket. The intercooler will be air to water with main purpose of having a cleaner installation.
Will start by installing 2 fans since I live in hot climate and would still like to retain AC.

The F-1A with the Aster bracket is a great way to go. How are you planning on doing the air to water for a cleaner install, as there is a lot more plumbing involved? Bob

Had to press the water pump pulley back on to prevent hitting the belt and ended up with one shim under the blower pulley for best alignment.
