Edelbrocks are really good quality... If it were me I would get a set of Edelbrocks and spend the extra cash on something else. The quality is just as good but they aren't SS.

Why are you asking about A/C with the Edelbrocks? Clearance problems or what? I put them on my car with no problem and I have A/C.

a site that i was looking at -$umm!@# racing, said that yes for everything but a/c - on the edelbrocks. i haven heard of anyone on here with a/c and edelbrocks before i posted. now i just hafto decide if getting headers without being s/s is what i want to do .. any rust on any of your edelbrocks? this isnt an easy pick. everyone claims the headers they run are the best fit and performance, but only tried that one kind.. headers are my least favorite thing to install on a car going by my last header install on my 84 m5 camaro. i dont doubt edelbrocks at all- from previous edelbrock products there stuff is top notch. im just againts rust and lots of it in nj. im just doing alot of research before i buy something i might regret or have issues with.
