Anyone know of examples of cars (mustang/falcon) with a 200 with turbo and AC? There is nowhere to mount the AC compressor on the typical turbo setup with these cars, as the turbo extends into the location where the compressor goes.
I have a 65 Mustang personally.
I remember seeing one photo of somebody who put the turbo over by where the voltage regulator goes and plumbed piping all the way from the exhaust side over to the driver side, and then through an intercooler back to the carb. Kind of the reverse routing of the typical turbo setup on these cars. I don't particularly like the idea of keeping so much of the exhaust tubing inside the engine bay itself. Sounds like a recipe for overheating. I've also heard that excessively long tubing will increase lag, but I don't know if this qualifies as excessively long. As this will be a street car, a lag will reduce drive ability so I would like to avoid it as much as possible.
