Default A/C Question????

okay i am going turbo and was wondering, the main reason a/c is not compatible with turbo setups is because the hard lines are in the way or is the fan in the way??? becasue i could get a slim style fan for the condenser and have about an inch more clearance while as with the hard lines it would be hard to modify. Would doing either fo these things allow a large manifold to be placed in without taking a/c out?? post pics if possible or have any relavence to the question.

The condenser is in the way for some turbo setups. My greddy kit allows me to keep the A/C.

on http://www.homemadeturbo.com they have tried numerous things using the HF manifold and they havent been able to get it to work with the AC. your best bet is to use a different manifold. good luck

Looks like the AC lines are real close to the turbo. Wouldn't the AC lines melt from the hot turbo?
