How do you guys have your AC hoses running? Did you reroute them, I am having some interference issues. The car is ready to start besides a few small details. The AC hoses make the TMIC a pain to take off (the big hose is actually on top the the intercooling piping, if I take it below it interferes with the upper radiator hose) and they also make the oil almost impossible to check (but I have found a way to do it). The only way I can fix this, is to take off the big line and bend it so I can reroute it by the alternator.
Thanks

I needed to see why my left front wheel squeaks, but I found out why and regreased and put a new seal on and everything is hunky dory! I want to come help though and get your car running! Three of us running around town is going to be fun! :D

John, I meant what were you going to do to yours in order for you to have AC. It is all hooked up, I just wish it didn't interfere with the intercooler. The only things I have left to do are relocate the battery, add coolant and put in the ECU (it should be here today).

Oh,....ummmm haha.
Well we were going to have to have the hose lengthened at a shop, the big hose. Any pressurized hose shop can do it. I think Ben Davis had another way too, but I forget, PM him and see. He had a front mount on his 98 Sentra not too long ago!
Ben98SentraSE is his forum ID.

If you search on member's rides for my pictures, it'll show you how I did mine. Also, there's a picture floating around of when I was top mounted. The big hose goes on top of the top mount intercooler piping. It's a tight fit, but it fits. Just muscle fuck it.

I did when I was topmounted. I just have no AC after getting a hole in the little line when doing my front mount.

you're supposed to have a hole in your "little line" (if thats what they are calling them these days) its called a "urethra"
you have to be more careful "front mounting" though. thats why i prefer to back mount. missionary just gets old after a while you know.

I had A/C on my old DET car. I had the hoses modified to work to clear the top-mount IC.
