More Pix, but some dilemmas...
For most people a setup like this is great without A/C, but living here in California there are plenty of 90+ degree days as well as as some 100 degree days. Saying that, I need A/C because even in evening times it may still be on the warm side... The A/C setup will work but it will require almost 2 months more of downtime and I honestly don't feel like waiting that much longer (estimated date of completion is September). I would like some time to drive the car before the Winter. Any alternative solutions? Maybe an electric A/C unit or something of the like? I will probably give the car back to the shop in the Winter to do the real A/C setup, BUT do you think I should scrap the whole engine A/C and stick with a permanent electric A/C Setup. Pros would be it is less drain on the engine and will look much cleaner, but is it practical? Your opinion helps in the decision, thanks!

Check the mounts out, engine about 2 inches lower than stock and pushed ALL the way back in the bay, balance of car should be nice...

Thanks I appreciate it. We actually just got the custom wiring harness back and are going to begin wiring up everything. Here are some pix of what it looks like to date... After wiring it up all we have to do is fire it up, make sure all is in working order, tune, and see how good this swap really is...

Classic how dusty the car is in the last two pics. I've had several builds where mine looks the same way.

Great progress OP. Best of luck getting it fired and running

i would stick with the engine driven AC pump for sure. You can get custom lines made pretty easily for less than $100 per line with the company that i used when doin my LSX ac lines. I will PM you with a link
