Header A/C clearance...please help

[Anonymous]

i am trying to install the clifford header on my 200 cid. and i need about a half inch more space to get it on. it is catching on the A/C compressor...i think. whats the best way to solve this problem? i thought about heating up the part of the tube thats catching and molding it to fit, but i'm not sure. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

This too....

even though the headers are different they are similar enough this will apply somewhat to you... measure your individual needs before you make any modifications....

Dang, I wish I could post pics. I have a dealer installed AC unit, where the compressor sits on the driver's side. That seems like a better solution to me. I'll be upgrading to a Sanden unit in the near furture. 8)
