Fire Fighter calling 911....lol
Move the AC line. Sometimes you have to bend stuff, it will move with a little love...
I have no AC, so I guess I won't have that problem, eventhough I can't think of what line would be in the way..

Yes, just get rough with it.... If not, there is either a clamp or nut that will unscrew for you to move it...Careful the line might be pressurized. my money is on getting rough with it though....

thats weird that you are having clearance problems with the AC lines, on my TA they are nowhere near enough to touch the header, the power steering line gave me some problems on the bolt install but got the bolt and the locking flange or washer on, hmm maybe some pics would help us help you

Yea, like I was saying, I don't know what lines you are near, unless you are talking about the 2 that go to the Fire Wall

Them things are bitchy, I don't have that problem to worry about. I unplugged mine, removed the wires, and programmed the front ABS out. I got the LS1 Big Brakes, the thing stops like twice as fast, no joke. They are some damn good brakes.
I have to change both of them front Hubs when I get back. The left side bearing is shot, and might as well do both cause it's over the 100K mile mark.
