here's how I mounted mine on my 72 chevelle-I orig had a Procharger sheet metal one, but it was to wide-this is a Treadstone one, thicker but 2" shorter
I welded a 90 deg on one end, snaked the pipes thru the core support
I was able to lower it to uncover some of the radiator, and keep the hood latch

it was easier to mock it up on the core support off the car-I did a Procharger one on a 69 chevelle, it actually had more room than the 72 because of the grill design
I think a Camaro has a fair amount of room in front, cant remember

It was fabricated. If you look at his build thread, him and his buddy both are extremely talented

least amount of cutting




then mounted the EMUSA 31x11x3 bar and plate intercooler.


then of course started running charge piping


while running the lling pipe, i ran the wastegate reference line and oil pump wiring


mind you mine is a rear mount so my pipe routing might be different then yours.
