Okay so I'm about to drop my 4.8 turbo build with 4L80E in my '74 C10 and started working on the engine mounts. The Vintage Air AC (sanden) compressor will be mounted low passenger side which is the stock location. This got me thinking about where I was going to mount the FMIC, Trans Cooler, and AC Condenser.

My question is where did everyone put this stuff?

I saw 1-2 people mounting the FMIC horizontally between the front rails and building a small scoop below the bumper to direct air flow to it... This looks like a decent option as the measurement I have taken make it appear that mounting the 24"x12" FMIC would be pretty easy. Not sure if the tubing will be as easy OR how effective it would be, any comments?

Not sure there is room but if there is can/should I stack the FMIC in front of the trans cooler and condenser?

FYI:
I plan to run the largest electric fan I can as a puller, and the turbo x-over will be in the rear.
