Got this used off of her. Non ac version, thought all i had to do was remove old setup and cut out hood latch support. First i had to bend and hammer down the bottom Ear where the hood support bolts to the car. Then i had to rip out both plastic pieces, then i had to bend the bottom lip on the 1313, the little air dam piece was contacting the front bumper and wouldnt go past. Now i get it in place and the airbox/radiator holder piece wont go forward the half inch i need it to go......wtf, it looks like the top radius is too high or something

Yeah the non-ac is a big SOB to cram down in there.

i went out and used a lot of force and i could probably get the bolts to line up but i would just rather not.......i could drill new holes in my air box base so i could bolt it to the car, or i can start grinding on my rad support

My upper was not cut, and Im pretty sure I had to hold the top plate and stick the bolts in at the same time

I can get the holes to lignore up with a lit of force, but it flexes the radiator a good bit

Not sure if beating the hell out of the intake will work or not

What if I put it in a vise near that top radius? Should pancake it a good bit......which may be necessary anyway when I get an lt1 radiator

ended up hitting it with a hammer on the headlight side of the intake....got it tightened up and it sits about 3/8" away from the rad
