^ Agreed, I'm curious as well.

I don't have a Vortech, but I certainly didn't need to move all those other parts either.

 

And don't forget the bumper and radiator support. Just doesn't make sense to me. They are not anywhere close to the struts.

 

yeah installing mine was easy. why did you need to remove all that? because you have a sedan?

 

wow that does seem like a lot of items to remove. he did say he had to remove that stuff to get to something else the vortech wore out.

 

I always thought they were different...

As stated above, I had to remove the bumper cover, headlights, radiator support to get to the AC line I had to replace. The oil drain line on the V3 wore through the AC line. I had previously tried to install the RA bar, but was not able to get the drivers side bracket on with the supercharger in place. (well, I could get the bracket on, but not the bolt for the lower leg) My friend and I decided to wait until we were replacing the AC line, and tackle the RA bar as part of the same project. I think the radiator support is different for the coupe and the sedan, and it fits closed to the SC, and needs to be loosened or removed to pull out the SC. I am not that much of an idiot... unless to talk to my ex-wife . Also, the pulley on the jack shaft has less then 3mm clearance, and hits the bracket when the engine moves under acceleration, etc.. The pulley, and the bracket have since "self clearanced" and don't rub as often as they used to.

I suspect that most of my problems are because it is installed on the Sedan, but I can't be sure. Everything that "should" fit on the Sedan usually doesn't. (Vortech said that the SC should fit, but had never tried it on the Rev-up, the AAM fuel return kit was WAY off for the sedan even though they said it should fit w/ "slight" modifications)
