i am thinking of getting a A/C manifold but im not running as is there a major difference in the manifolds? and if i dont run ac this effects nothing right?

 

air conditioning vs. no air conditioning

 

well im not running ac but was wondering if i can run a ac manifold on a non ac motor. what is the difference between non vs ac is there a noticeable difference in the way the manifold is made?

 

clearances!

 

You would want a non-AC manifold since you don’t have AC.... but if you have an AC compressor mounted on your block then you would need a AC manifold.....

 

The answer is:

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

If you don't have A/C, you can use either manifold, obviously. The A/C manifolds only change where the turbo/ewg's are located so it will clear the A/C compressor/condenser.
