well, I have some pimp nasa type heat rejecting insulation, I'd line the v of the motor with it, as well as the intercooler.

I might lose the ac, as i never use it anyways. ever

I looked at the ps pump and the resi is movable, so with that out of the way I think i'll have tons of room. If i get a custom upper ac hardline it might even be possible to keep it.
I plan on ditching the air pump anyways, It would make tuning an absolute *****, giving false lean readings and what not.

I had figured out how to run intercooler piping to a Front mount, but the piping would be so long, 6ft or so each side, that it would be horribly laggy. The air to water idea I thought up just makes everything much simpler.
