With a custom adapter plate you might be able to keep a/c.. but why.

i haven't seen any premade adapterplates that allow hf/ac compatibility. i had to make my own and you'll need to move the ac condensor fan to the front and won't be able to use to large a turbo.

Re: Downpipe with ac on hf mani

the fan would be the biggest part, it isn't too hard to angle the turbo to the left so the wastegate misses the a/c bracket, your biggest problem is gonna be with the fan. doubt you'll be able to do it without an aftermarket thin fan, and even then you're gonna be hard pressed to make it work with all the heat coming off the turbo. on my friend's eclipse he actually MELTED the fan when he took the heatshield off his turbo. not good.
