You need to remove AC and if you have an integra, go with a civic style radiator.

you can die with powersteering just like you can die without AC
Face it man, Full-Race manifold and other equal length manifolds will never allow AC. No one likes the challenge of making one to fit AC, because the tigher radius will make it inefficient.

hmm...guess the one I made for a D series doesnt count then...its not a full-race, its an "MST". Mild Steel Tubular. The buyer wanted mild steel for some reason.
In any case, it will be VERY interesting to see how it fits in there. The condenser fan will surely have to be ditched, and the lines will have to be re-routed. Ahh the joys of AC.
On D series, the SST and MST designs dont interfere with PS.

You can replace it with a $50 pusher fan on the opposite side of the condenser...that is if there is enough room.

Edit: I think you guys are pussies...

read the posts above more carefully. boosted hybrid just told you that need to remove the ac, and go with the civic style radiator IF you have an integra.

I don't want to drive a car without an A/C in the summer. Sure I could but I hate sweating in the car while waiting in the traffic. My car is 98 and it's hard to ditch the A/C, P/S because I want to go little faster and I paid for these.

No, I don't push my car with A/C ON.

Why don't you get a Half-Race manifold then if you want A/C.
