Default A/C Removal

I just started putting my fuel mamangement stuff on my car when I noticed that there is not much room next to my stock header. It looked like my T25 might not fit, this is a 2000 civic ex. The a/c is really close. Has anyone ever install a T25 on a late model civic, did you have to take the a/c off? I not sure if it will fit but it sure looks like it wouldn't? Just because on a T25 the exhaust outlet is on the drivers side and points to the side, not down. Does anyone have any helpfull tips.

Is it just on that turbo, or any turbo with the HF manifold. I'm planning on using the RHB5 from an MX-6. On this one the exhaust side will be to the passenger's side. Doesn't really matter, I'll probably take it off anyways, less weight, just wondering.

No turbo/Hf manifold setup will work with AC, unless you get some type of crazy plate that moves the turbo away from the turbo compressor.

like jeff said with out the crazy adaptor installed "it is almost imposible to keep a/c compressor. oh shure you can keep all the other crap in there. but why. just be carefull when you dissconect the line the. you really should have the system drained like i did. (ahem) anyway. this will avoid green ---- spaying you, the engine, the garage and what ever is close to you. the draw back you have this nasty hole on the drivers side of the motor. which you can fill in with a saab intercooler or a mazda mr2 intercooler. it fits right in there.
