Scarebird brakets and the 85 elderado calipers. I'm going to run the D152 willwoods and remove the eldo's in the back this week to match the D152 on the fronts.

I might of got ahead of myself on the ac lines before doing the hotside turbo stuff... but I wanted to try out the crimper! I should start the hotside this weekend... fingers crossed.

This is gonna be sik.
I was going to say that you could use a truck (not van) alternator mount/belt and routing if you NEEDED to put the alternator topside as the 3/4 ton trucks all have the alt up top and vans have them down below, but looks like you need it there anyways.

If you ever take the wheels off the rear please get a part number off for backspacing as I had tried to swap wheels with someone a few days ago and the rear backspacing was all fubar for that size tire. They were going to even swap my old version et streets on draglites for et street radials on draglites....

Sweet set-up

Dash... still have to pull again to do the wiring, but I got the ac to fit with the dash by cutting an inch off the back of the glovebox.

Nice!

I assume by looking at the pics and how the VA unit fits you had to delete the center dash support brace? This would be the long straight brace that bolts to the fire wall and bolts to the lower part of the dash to the right of the radio.

Does the VA unit have a condensate drain?

Can you take any pics up under the dash to show how the dash fits with the VA unit?

Yes you are correct. I had to remove the dash support, but I'm thinking of just moving it to the other side. I'm going to take some pics when I get a chance as the car is going to get the exhaust and all tubing done next couple weeks.
