Finally got the air back on the car. with PICS!! Well last night we finally finished the air conditioning on my car. We relocated the accumulator to the front of the car, and made longer lines. everything pressure tested good, just need a couple new o-ring gaskets and a charge and it will be done. I am VERY happy with the way everything is coming together and as always thanks Blake.
Here are the pics, the first is just a full shot of the kit before the air lines were put on

Looks good. I have togive you credit for fining a way to retain the A/C on forward swept headers. Only thing I see as a PITA is the plug access. Now just turn the boost up a bit and watch the smile grow.

NICE SETUP! Glad you were able to keep the a/c. I also like your I/C setup. Seems you were able to package it as to not hack up the front end of the car, or tear out the license plate frame.
Do you have any more pics of the charge cooling side?

Mike, by charge cooling side do you mean the high pressure side of the system?
Jason has many more pics of the setup ill let him post if he wants.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Means alot. Myself and Blake have worked our ***'s off on this car with many MANY 5:00 mornings. Here are a few more pics of misc. stuff on the car.
Mighty Mouse - No pics of the fuse boxes yet. I should have snapped a couple last night but didn't even think of it till i read your post
Mike - The only thing that had to be cut was part of the bumper support. That is kinda the whole idea behind the kit was i wanted to keep the fog lights and AC. ABS was the only thing deleted (other than emissions) and that could have been kept but i didn't want it anyway.

wow, i love the way you mounted the intercooler....
i'm doing the exact same thing this winter and i've been looking at finding an intercooler that i can just cut out the front license plate holder (i'd like to keep my fog lamps), but man, that's even better.... is it going to be as efficient there as a traditional FMIC woudl be?

It was VERY efficient all last summer track and street.
