Default On3 performance ac kit fbody

Hey guys I'm about to purchase the on3 kit for fbody, and I'll be keeping my ac, question is has anyone ran this kit with ac? If so what did you do with the condenser and what not, I spoke to on3 about it but they didn't really have any insight.

Try to get in on a group buy with Huron Speed. After comparing both kits vs cost on a group buy, Huron is superior in every way. Not a fan boy, just been there and went through that.

The new Huron Speed V3 AC kit is legit AF, don't have to relocate anything and can run a PT88 turbo without issue.
I've got a V1 kit and have had to alot to make changes.

You leave the condenser in the factory location, just have to put pushers on it is all. I've been running their kit for 3 years now without issues, put down 728rwhp on a stock bottom end ls1 pushing 200k miles.

I think it applies to all turbo setups but make sure to heat wrap the hot side. First go I didn't and at an idle on a 100 degree day it would slowly climb. Heat wrapped and daily driving through summer no issues even with AC on.

Alright so modifying of the condenser or a/c lines thats a relief. Did you use the gravity grain option or are you running a scavenge pump?

The only big issue I've had with on3 is all the V bands being warped. If you do get it, you'll need to belt sand or hand sand them. Gaskets didn't help until I got them flat enough. Also there are no o2 bungs so you'll have to get them welded, that if you want closed loop. The kit isn't as bad as everyone says but dont think, "$2500 and I'm done". As far as fitment, it fits perfect.
