aftermarket bottom mount header & A/C compressor

[RS12Turbo]

Has anyone that has mounted a xs power bottom mount header been able to leave their a/c compressor intact? With the xs header the t25g sits about 2-2.5 inches lower than on the stock mani, which in turn puts the compressor housing inlet adaptor right in the path of the a/c compressor housing.Also, with everything sitting so much lower, will the downpipe still line-up to the exhaust correctly?It also looks like the o2 pipe sits pretty close to where the bell housing will be........does it clear? It looks like it will be very close.And last......i'm wondering if everything will clear the the steering shaft......this is going in a S12, so I don't know if the steering shaft is positioned in the same place as the s13.I may just put the stock mani back on, before dropping the motor in the car
