5.2 magnum intake and factory AC ?

Let me start by saying, I dont have any hands on experience with this.....
That being said, it was my understanding the Edelbrock 7577 was a direct fit, with the serpentine belt system including the AC.
The other manifolds ie: speedmaster, etc. has the t-stat where the LA motor does, and works better with the V-Belt drive system.
I plan to use the 7577 myself. Just put a deposit on a 5.9 magnum.....
I don't have an engine yet also. But thinking it will be around 1995 5.2 with the serpentine belt system , and may try to reuse the factory AC pump ( if possible) . But will need an intake . Want to avoid using the fuel injection and computer system.
