i have a/c p/s in my lsvtec turbo integra. you need to get a manifold that is a/c compatible w/ a downpipe that is a/c compatible. most log manifolds are a/c compatible (rev hard, inline pro, drag, etc...). you can check out:

for some ideas on a/c compatible manifolds. other than that, i'd recommend some heat wrap for your a/c lines so they don't get too hot and pop. other than that, everything else should be the same, or at least from what i remember.

It might be easier to just get rid of it but I guess to each his own. but I have seen a trubo car with ac and ps steering and let me tell you its messy. but GL man.

Its really not that big of a deal to keep the a/c. true, it may be slightly easier if you remove it because you have less stuff to work around when installing, but if you buy an a/c compatible mani and downpipe, installation is straight forward. i guess the hardest part about keeping it would be trimming the condenser fan if necessary, and wrapping the lines that are right above the manifold (which takes about 5 min). true, its not as "clean" of a bay, but its awsome to have for those nice and toasty stl summer days. i've run a/c and p/s w/ my turbo set up for about 3 years now and never had one problem w/ either one.

Here is a pic of my setup. lines are wrapped and i run slim fans (condensor one is mounted on the outside of the radiator). other than that, no other modifications due to the a/c and p/s.

That looks nice actually but it looks alot better in person and you can see all of the stuff done to it to keep the ac and ps.
