Default A/C and turbo manifold question before I start install

Hey guys,
I have a '94 Integra gsr with a LS motor that is will be boosting with a turbonetics t3/t04. It does not look like the setup will fit properly with the stock compressor in place, is that correct?
If so, what compressor are people running so they can keep their A/C with a boosted engine. What other ways are there to free up some space to fit this manifold? My car is a daily driver and would like to keep all the common amenities.
Any help would be nice,
Thanks!

Why do you think it will not fit?

It does not look like there is much room with the stock compressor and the stock radiator. I'll take a picture in a little bit of the space so you can see.

You won't fit that manifold in unless you take the ac out and run a slim fan. Integra have very little space to work with. If you want ac get a log manifold or a cast manifold.

neukin a/c ramhorn manifold and neukin 3" dp. Theres probably 3/16" between the downpipe and compressor, enough space to get some heat wrap in there if thats what you wanted to do. I also did all this with a slim fan in the stock position, but then i moved it on the other side of the condensor to give me a little more room. I got pics, but itll be a couple hours before i can post them up.

I'm also running a Neukin AC manifold (Ramhorn). 3 in dp, AC/PS, stock rad. Have to use a slim fan pushing, but it will fit.

Fans -&gt; https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1749729
Great prices & super fast shipping

For manifolds go check out the FI marketplace. Neukin or Spoolin (projectdc2) will hook you up.

Are you running any kind of filter on the turbo? It doesn't look like it will other the a screen.
