Does the use of a FMIC mean you have to nix the AC I'm looking at a Apexi FMIC.

No it doesn't eliminate the A/C..all it does is relocate the condenser, which makes the A/C a little less effective.

I'm pretty sure they don't sell that kit anymore, I like how they end the paragraph with "only $1800." Hah.. Only!? A fmic will not necessarily kill your A/C, just do some research on all of the different kits and how everything is modified in the end.

Here are my installation directions for the Greddy 2 FMIC. BTW: the a/c stays!

Buy a http://www.rx7fashion.com/intercoolers.htm you won't have to relocate anything. The air pump, the battery, and the radiator, air conditioner reciever dryer and condenser do not need to be removed or relocated.

well if you put the condensor between the radiator and intercooler vertical THAT would be relocating it....
Thats the exact set-up I have.. BUT I highly recommend to strengthen the lower brackets for the radiator, my right hand one broke, then the condensor and radiator hit together for a while, and I got a nice pin hole. My A/C wasnt that great , we made out own brackets for a little more space between the condensor and radiator. NICE AND COLD NOW!! wooohooo
