Default Putting a turbo in a 91 crx si W/O taking away AC and relocating battery

Is this possible? not removing the AC? if so any pictures? i was going to purchase a shity CAI from ebay for my passneger side charge pipes. But i cant seem to figure out how to. I have like 2 inch clearance from my header to the fan. I want to keep AC but as of right now that seems impossible. so if any one has pics of a crx turbo w/ ac that would be awesome. or know of a place to buy manifolds and downpipes to fit that would be awesome. only place i have found is http://www.spoolinperformance.com

You might be able to get an Oddysey battery and lay it on it's side in the battery tray. Then maybe you could run your IC piping over it. Or you can just have it follow the path of the stock intake or a CAI. The pipe will only be 2" oe 2.25" in diameter (or 2.6" if you decide to go a little bigger) but that should still be a little smaller then a stock intake pipe.
