Would it be possible to fit two Turbonetics GTK-550 in a 4th gen engine compartment?

I have a line on two Turbonetics GTK-550's and i'm wondering if it would be possible to fit both of those in a 4th gen engine compartment without losing my A/C or cruise?

Cruise is easy since it can just about go anywhere with a wiring extension. AC is a lot harder to work around.

I think it would be a stretch to get any twin setup going and keep AC. You'd probably have to squeeze it where the battery sits and relocate the battery and coolant overflow to some other place.

My magic 8-ball says "Good Luck!"

Yeah. My cruise is actually relocated already. I had a brain fart about that one. The HVAC system was my main concern. I really dont wanna lose it. Is there a smaller compressor or any other option like that?

Probably could relocate the AC compressor to another spot, then just have some custom lines made for it.

Who was the company that did the first twin turbo kit for the LS1 f-bodies? They mounted the turbos low in the engine bay, and retained all creature comforts. I'm thinking something similiar could be done, but you would probably need to adjust your accessories to accomplish this.

These guys did a TT LT1 and retained ALL accessories.

Funny, I called Speed Inc earlier today and we talked about how it could be done. I'm on a mission to keep my A/C!!

It can be done... even easier with moving the alt to the driver's side down the bottom.

Yeah, I had already planned on relocating the alt. I'm just really adamant about keeping my a/c.
