question about AC

Can someone confirm, deny or explain what my options are if I choose to boost a B18c1? I have tried to search the forums to find an answer, but have had no luck with a clear answer. From what I can gather from reading up and looking at pics, I think it depends on your setup. But I live in Ga and it gets hot and sticky as hell here in the summer. The humidity is a mutha!!! AC is a big deal to sacrifice. Is there a way to get an awesome setup and still keep your AC or is there a way you can relocate it? I am a noob, and would love any advice or clarity.
Thanks!
One.

it mainly depends on which manifold you use, the size of turbo, and size of IC i'm pretty sure, i've seen boosted B setups in EG's before that still has A/C

And im guessing i will either not know until i cross that bridge or find someone who has a setup that works and mock it..... uugghh.

Anyone have a pretty nice setup with AC or know someone who does?

its mainly because of the manifold and the size of the turbo. manifolds are usually listed wether they can keep a/c or not. what size of turbo do you plan on running?

side thought...
the a/c is in the way because of the downpipe correct? well if you have room to do this and change the routing of the downpipe a little bit you could flip the turbo around so the exhaust is coming out of the other side and then not have to deal with having to bend under the turbo and conflicting with the a/c.

thoughts???
