I'm installing a Vortech S-trim on my 95 GT and I have it mounted but there is no clearance at all because the AC lines are in the way. I still want to have AC, do the AC lines need to be removed to run the Vortech?

they need to be bent.. I'll see if I can find a photo..
I gently bent it to clear... the radiator hose is close so put a cut rubber hose in it to insulate.





Found this one

Thanks! Does it take a lot of force to bend the AC line? Are they easy to bend? I'm afraid it might kink or break and I don't want the line to rupture and freon all over the place.

I think we put a piece of wood between the radiator and the line, to not put too much pressure on the joint....then gently pushed the lines just enough to clear..

so did you get it done easily? I'm researching now and thinking about going with a V3 SI trim and want to be able it out of the way and don't kink it either.
