Default Turbo clearance

When trying to put on my turbo the compressor housing hits this big a/c line and the radiator fan. My manifold supports a/c and I have a slim fan for the A/C. What do i need to do to get around that a/c line and still retain it? I also bought the slim fan because I was told I needed it to retain A/C, and I notice the other fan sorta gets in the way. My turbo is a Ford 48/60 and I'm runnin a y8 in a 97 civic. Any help is appreciated.

I have a 95 civic and what i did was tie the lines back. Um, does the manifold say retain a/c or the turbo might be too large

Ghetto-D custom made my manifold and downpipe to retain A/C. He had the same setup with the same turbo so I assume he perfected it. I'm pretty sure the downpipe clears the A/C, I'm just running into the A/C line next to the radiator fan and I'm hitting that fan.

Pics he sent me when he completed it.

I don't know about the a/c line, but what I had to do for my radiator fan is I had to get the dremel out and start grinding on my fan housing and the fan blades until it cleared
How bad does the turbo rub on the a/c line? Like push into it or just touch it, because you might be able to wrap it in heat wrap, the stuff you put on headers and exhausts.
