Title pretty much says it. Considering buying a non ac turbo kit. Living in South FL its very hot and humid, rains often so I've always considered AC a must, but I want this kit. So basically just asking those that live in hot areas how you keep cool? Windows down can suck pretty bad sitting at a long stop light or driving around town at low speeds in 90 degree weather. And if it rains then its humid inside with the windows up and the windows can get foggy which is a problem in already limited visibility weather. Do those little car fans do a good job? Is there a possible way to plug in two at once for a passenger?

I totally agree, don't get rid of your a/c unless it's a race car or just a weekend toy, you'll regret it once you start sweating your butt off sitting at a traffic during the hot summer days. It's just not worth it. Like OP said, there are turbo kits out there that lets you keep the a/c. But if you really want that kit, there's always this option.

Even though I want to ditch the AC on my truck just for looks alone cause Im doing a high mount AC with my swap I know I will be miserable as soon as it gets into the 100's
Therefore custom AC brackets are being cut to keep it.

I'm in the same boat man. T6 kit will NOT retain AC. I'm doing the Huron Speed kit.
Are there any options for moving the AC In the engine bay to keep it? I figured there would be SOME way to keep it??

if you can keep the alternator in the stock location, you can probably run one of the small a/c compressors in the spot where everyone relocates their alternator to. This is what I'm thinking for a street car.
