CAI in obs with custom a/c bracket?

so i finally got my 5.3 running in my tahoe today..now i just gotta figure out which CAI kit to get. I had the stock airbox but it doesnt fit because i have a novak a/c bracket and compressor mounted on the right side of the engine. will the regular CAI kit for the 5.3 fit with the bracket there or is there a different kit i should order?

ive seen someone running thr h2 kit but it goes up into the stock location of the obs filter. will it clear the a/c compressor?

also where can i find a cover like this to go over the radiator

if i had to guess i would say the cover was custom fabricated.
oh yea, congrats on getting her started.

thanks bro!! i was doing backflips...mainly because this was my first time doing this much mechanical work. the wiring everything i did. feels good man!! still gotta work out the pns switch..once thats done im good to go

heres what i cobbled up for mine. im using the tbi a/c bracket, similar compressor location as yours. bought a 30deg mandrel bent 3.5 inch scrap off ebay, silicone couplers and a free s2000 air filter. only had to tig a bracket on for mounting. anyone could replicate this for around $100, even paying $27 for the air filter.

once they come in i'll let you know how they work. i bought a 4" 90, 4" x 12" straight tube & a 4" - 3.63" reducer.

I.have my battery on the driver side

Move it haha, I put my batt underneath on the framerail.

Oh wow lol..I want to leave it there for now so i can use the nbs battery cables. I'll keep looking or ill have to make one myself

This is the one I bought for mine. http://www.ebay.com/itm/GMC-SIERRA-2...item46014c5a61 I also used my tbi bracket for ac so its on the same side as yours. Only thing you'll have to change is the filter.

Cool ill use a hummer Cai kit then. I like the fact it puts the filter in the stock location of the obs tahoe.
