Multiple manufacturers make A/C compatible EL manifold, like Full-Race.

There are alot of a/c friendly mani out there(I have the one-fab). However, I have yet to see one that is bolt-on friendly (correct me if I'm wrong). You will have to put some effort into making everything fit.

On my si, the downpipe didn't fit roght away. I had to put a small dent into it to make it work. Check my thread here

Other than that, the 1fab set fitted fine.

Full-Race Perfect Fitment and excellent quality. Have not installed the AC yet, but I already mocked everything up. Just waiting to get on the dyno first.

the ac manifold points the compressor towards the radiator correct? it looks like thjere is no room for a air filter. can you run an airfilter with the full race ac manifolds

I can't run a filter with the way the setup is right now. I have not seen a EQL manifold that was AC compatable be able to run a filter. I am thinking of modifiying the compressor outlet so I can run a filter, but I am not sure yet. Right now I just have some mesh screen on it.

Your setup is straight sexy. For my setup, I'm using a slim pusher mounted in front of the rad to free some room. With that, I'm able to run 3" piping with a filter. Are you able to move your fan to the front?
