Default HF Manifold and A/C, possible??

I'm planning on doing a turbo setup on my 00 civic dx, and was wondering if it will be possible for me to clear my A/C using an HF manifold? Doesn't look like it but has anyone done it? and if so what turbo did you use? or any ideas to make it work? Thanks.

I dont have a turbo yet, thinking about a 14b or td04? so ill get which ever turbo that will allow a/c. I dont really care, its for my dx motor to mess around with during the school break. I have a side mount intercooler and an HF manifold just sitting around, so I thought I'd put them to use. I'm just looking for any suggestions on which one will alow me to keep a/c. (imma wuss, need the A/C ). no one's done this?? I need suggestions from the pros. thanx.

oh i just got a mental picture of that "banana syle adapter" i might try that

If you want to do it, you better have a welder. Your basically gonna have to build the manifold/turbo/chargepipes around all of your a/c stuff. I'm sure it could be done, but there's no "instructions" or write ups if that's what your looking for.

you can have a custom adapter plate made to off set it a little and modify your manifold to use an external wg. it's very possible, just not as easy as ripping a/c out :P
