*A. Remove the factory ignition coil, coil brack-

et and all coil mounting hardware from the

passenger side of the engine.

*B. Remove the 8mm fastener attaching the air

conditioning pressure line silencer to the

lower radiator support to allow line

movement during line modification. (See

Fig. 7-b.)

*C. Using a hand-held 1/2" tubing bender, bend

the high pressure air conditioning line (the

line with the pressure port and cap) so that

the pressure port rotates down for

supercharger inlet clearance. (See Figs.

7-a, 7-c.)

*D. Reattach the air conditioning silencer

bracket to the radiator support.

NOTE: Air conditioning lines are under

high pressure and the fluid is

highly toxic; therefore, use

extreme caution when bending the

line to avoid kinking or breaking

the line. Support the assembly as

much as possible while bending

for clearance.
