Happy to help out, this is the pcm you need, stock one you cant defeat the antitheft..

https://www.fordracingparts.com/parts/part_details.asp?PartKeyField=12284

Only 2 k's work well Maximum motorsports or UPR. Spend the extra$ on the MM, UPR and others have clearance issues and require spacers between K and frame

http://www.maximummotorsports.com/MM-K-member-for-engine-swap-Mustang-1979-1995-P278.aspx

I have full PS, Brakes and AC,

Simple hydroboost with cobra "big brakes"

There are a few PS pump bracket options, I went Sean Hyland

https://www.seanhylandmotorsport.co...Coyote-5.0-crate-engine-with-Air-Conditioning

Only draw back isI wish it had a belt tensor but no issues

BBK LT and your choice of mid and cat back

http://www.bbkperformance.com/products/new-products/coyote-swap-full-length-headers-and-x-pipes.html

Plenty more info but this should get you started.

Feel free to ask any questions...

Did you have to relocate anything for ac? I've just about got my tear down done trying to figure what else I need to remove aside from brake booster

This is where I'm at, worried about the ac accumulator.

All AC is fine, If you want AC do yourself a major favor, do it once and right. Get a Vintage Air kit.... ask how I know...(wasted $$)
Feel free to PM me

We used all Fox dryer, evaporate, condenser
Used a Coyote compressor. All in factory location, A Vintage air Trinary switch And R134 (1.87 lbs in my case). Custom lines
Proper relays
This is 100% Sound.

Reason I proposed Vintage air is the PS and AC pump use the same belt AND the fact all other products don't provide for a belt tensor. So when AC cuts in the belt slips,

Think to the early Ford coyotes that used a stretch belt and a recall added a tensor,

I used a well known Vendors solution that used a stretch belt and it slips like a. ------
So getting Vintage air to alleviate that issue

It's not hard or complicated just doing it right out of the gate is smart imho

The Vintage Air kit is the pullies, compressor and PS pump and mounting bracket. So rest can be your Fox parts

Ah nevermind I think you posted already. Good deal everything fits, I'll have to look up the vintage air stuff. Just ordered K-member, battery relocation stuff and shocks. Next is wiring and AC stuff so getting closer.

Has anyone made a kit that includes all the custom ac lines? I'm going to need a condenser, compressor, dryer, and lines. all that is in the car is a evaporator that hopefully doesn't leak. Also, is there any full hydroboost conversion kits that includes power steering pump and all lines?
