CAI in obs with custom a/c bracket?

[myzterray]

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.

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.

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.
