Default Turbo K20 in EM2 chassis; Is it possible to keep A/C?

Is there anyone on here with experience putting a turbo on a k20 swap in their EM2's? I am wondering about clearance for an intercooler with the A/C condenser mounted in front of the rad. What kind of setups do people normally run with this? What size of intercooler and routing of the charge piping? I tried searching around, but this hasn't been covered too much. I would like to retain as much of the stock functionality of the car as possible so I would like to be able to hook my A/C back up when i can afford to get the proper lines for the K swap. BTW I am using an EP3 rad, if that matters

There is a way to do it, but you would need custom a/c lines or an entire a/c line setup from an RSX. Check out the K-Series swap information in the FAQ's.

I know about the custom a/c lines I am just waiting till I can afford to get some... But i mean is there room for an intercooler with the charge piping to be installed with the a/c condensor in there? I would like to see some other people's set ups or get some opinions
