Yes but it's a heck of a squeeze and you'll need a manifold made for that.

There are premade cast and tubular manifolds you can get that allow for A/C, but like he said its gonna be a tight fit.

You will have to go with an aftermarket radiator fan. It will free up more room if you just went with a 92-00 civic halfsize radiator and slim fan. But then for those to fit well you will need to get an aftermarket crossmember. Look on the FAQ for info on the radiator swap.

Ive seen setups with the full size radiator, turbo and A/c but they are rare around here.

i can't help you with manifolds, but you can get by without the condenser fan if you use the a/c wisely. a pusher fan on the outside is another option, but an intercooler will make that harder.

Yes it can be done, but it is supertight. Aftermarket crossmember, A/C compatibile manifold, very well planned piping, good couplers, and attention to detail and level of quality of parts is necessary b/c you will not like working on any part of the turbo system ever again.

AC while being turbo'd is nice. I wish I would have kept AC. It can be done, you just gotta buy a manifold that will help squeeze everything in there.
