I cut the skeleton out above the plenum. There is a bulge but I prefer it over a spaced out hood.

SOHC KA compressor and lines were used. The KA AC bracket was welded to the VQ bracket and it uses the OEM tensioner from the the KA. Luckily, nissan uses the same belt size for KA/VQ

I bought fittings and 6' of hose and made the line myself. It was under $70 in parts for hi pressure and about $30 for low. I have since added a power steering cooler.

Fuel is the only thing that works. RPM works if you use a MSD pickup node. Speed works if you buy a GPS speedometer pickup from JEGS. wires right up to stock cluster. I cruise around with my tablet for my vitals. Torque lets you know whats going on in real time. I put my gauges away when drifting and peek at them after my run. so far so good.
