I have mine working, but it's just another problem to dance around when I think about how I can't lower the car at all with the hotparts I have. Already have truck manifolds ready to go on if I choose

Took out the A/C on my car with the install of the TTi kit last year, never used it in 3 years of owning the car.

And yes it does actually get hot here in Illinois.

I couldn't live without my AC. If the TTi race kit allowed you to keep the AC by relocating it, that would rock.

The only kits out there right now that allow you to keep the AC are the TTi Street Kit and Speed Inc's twin turbo kit. There might be others, but I don't know. They probably go under the K-member, not over it.

Took mine off. I only drive the car when its nice out and I can have the t-tops off. But it does get warm when you're stopped in traffic.
