Default Hood Exposed Turbo C5 LS1

I got pissed off at a shop for trying to charge me $400 extra for a clutch swap than they said a week prior. I ended up rage buying all the tools to do it myself and I now have a 7875 turbo menacingly sitting on my table. I've seen so many people talking about how much you have to do to remove and make space under the hood to fit a setup, so my idea was f*** it pop it out the hood. I got pics for what I'm trying to achieve. I was told by a guy who did the same thing for his ls2 c6 to get Chevy Sierra manifolds, but his account on insta got deleted. I'm kinda trying to keep my A/C but if it's gotta go it's gotta go. I was hoping the idea of having the whole suma b**** exit the hood would make things less complicated. Has anybody done anything like this or have any advice? So far my only advice was to hook up the co2 to the wastesgates rather than directly the manifold. This is my first big project. I'm only worried about getting it all hooked up right now. Here's some pics:

Cleetus McFarland did that on Ruby, check out his YouTube channel, there should be a subchannel on the build.

I'll be that guy... but, if you are paying someone to do a clutch, a custom turbo build may not be your skill set.
