Default 93-97 Camaro intercooler pics

I'm getting ready to install a fmic in my 94, but before I start, I'd love to see how others have done it. I'm going to use the Midwest Chassis tubular bumper support, but a stock front would be helpful, as well.
I'm running a Vortech T-trim on my LT1. Any help would be appreciated.

sorry, I went water to air when converting to LS and put it in the engine compartment so no help. I’ve kept my stock front including crash bar and foam.

I cut my stock crash bar (removed the platic part in front) to match the outline of my FMIC so it is centered, then took a steel bar and ran it across the top for the top mount and bolted it in. bent up some aluminum tabs for the bottom mounts and bolted them into the core support. all made out of scrap I had laying around. this is the only pic I seem to have right now, and it was in process of mounting so not finished, can get better pics tonight of what I did if you need

edit: found another slightly better pic I posted in my build thread over on ltxtech, shows the top mount finished

That looks great!
What is the size of your intercooler?
Thanks.

answered your PM with size but also snapped a few more pics over the weekend showing the lower mounts, just a couple pieces of bent aluminum. it is solid and I can stand on the intercooler without issue
