Nope AC is gone as well as ABS.. ABS was broken and AC isn't needed. It'll fit with the blower. I'll post pics when it get in.. But it's inset into the radiator support I know that much.

Hell, I live in TN and I've ripped out the AC in all my hot rods. I like to cruise with the windows down anyway. No stereo, no AC, no ABS, power brakes or steering, hahaha. I could have started off with a stripped down V6 and saved money. Although I do keep all the parts just in case.

I need to drive a car with no power brakes or steering and see how I like it.. It'll save more weight too.

The lack of power steering is very apparent at low speeds, especially if you have large front tires. When I was running my skinnies, there was no real difference, after installing the 275's back up front it's much more difficult. I can deal with it though as I've owned several old cars with no power steering. The brakes, when done properly, have no real difference in pedal feel.

You maintain power steering... just lose the assistance in braking...to me well worth the lost of 20lbs+

You should install a "hideous atomic turbo" setup on your car. :rolleyes: :)

Well yesterday I went to the shop.. I got to start my car for the 1st time in 3.5yrs.. It was a pretty amazing feeling/somewhat emotional.. Don't really know why, maybe it was the look on my sons face who knows lol.

The Holley setup and the base tune Drew wrote for it is spot on, no throttle body cable either, radiator, or cold side yet.. So it's not a very long video, and sadly the dumps do the cams no justice.. This thing straight up shook the ground. It was pretty amazing.

It really doesn't.. I need to find a way to fab up some tailpipes though, or redirect the dumps

You should spend the money on stuff that I have for sale to help me keep funding my build lol
