Looking good!
The only reason I decided not to run this way.was first because its a huge undertaking.and second I was worried about collision from debris and what not. Also once I have my fmic it'll be tight in there. But from the looks of it, it is protected and looks really nice!
I've been trying to figure out a way to delete my ac and have the alt moved down in it's place. I never use ac.
Or I was considering just tearing out the internals of the ac. I
Think the ac lines are nice though at least they are hardlines and clean in the bay. However I have no need for them.
Plus removing it would allow a better fan to be placed on the rad. That could then be controlled via the ac button in the car.
You can...kind of...
You will run kinda weird. Start up is rough, you'll get a cel and fuel trim would be off... Its nothing super bad, but should be tuned out because your 2nd o2 will be freaking out
Edit...by weird...i mean different start up...again nothing bad though...i should have clarified

This is what it's gonna look like until i clean out the a/c line. I started doing it, but it wasn't going very well. Also having a bracket made to hold the hoses on the motor mount.
hey Tyler, that easily visible hose off the intake by the TB on your previous intake is the one where I replaced the c2 hose with the ford focus coolant hose. Mainly cuz with the c2 kit it rubbed through on the battery tray and always got yanked out under hard acceleration with stock mounts. My car finally got finished on Thursday and my parents are gonna drive it up from Texas when they come up for Thanksgiving so we definitely gotta meet up. Looking like I'm gonna be working for the Monroe O'Reily's here soon so if you don't mind the trek up I should be able to help you out with parts for whatever. Can do outside buys on stuff not carried in stock plus I still got all my parts connections from working for the speed shop in Texas. In short I'm gonna make that O'Reily's be the place to come for parts if you don't like dealing with inept kids working the counter.
Dude thats what I like to hear! Thanks dude! Yeah ok I gotcha so on the throttle body you were able to get a clean shot through. Now I have a smaller battery and tray, should I worry?
