There is no problem with running the factory undertray with the way I fabbed the mounts on this setup, and the A/C could have been retained as well, but he already had an empty system so we opted for the removal of the lines and the condensor. If I was not pressed for time, I would have made a lot nicer top bracket for it, but the radiator is definately not moving in that car. Everything basically went back in its factory locations when we were done, except for the new tilt of the radiator. Now that I have done this, and know exactly what all it entails, especially the NASA degree to get the piping right, I think the next one will go a lot faster. I did not do a perfect job as Mike and Martin were pressed for time, and getting lost on the way to the shop cut down considerably on the install time. But the kit should go in a car in about 6 hours for a person that has never done one.

I ended up making all new brackets. double the thickness of the metal



it took me a while because with the included brackets, pipes and other stuff were touching, plus it look like there was not enough room for the charge pipes to move when the engine torques. I made the rad sit low and close to the driver side to create the room I wanted.



and that NASA puzzle you guys were takling about made me feel like I earned a master's degree in astrophysics. thank goodness for college ed, all that hands on stuff paid off after realizing it is just a sticker teeling me which way the pipe should go.
