You don't have to notch the rail, but, it is dang close. If you want the A/C, you'll have to run the truck front cover. No way the A/C works with the car cover. At least with true BOLT IN parts. You can just unthread the fan off of the water pump. Keep in mind, the truck fan is left hand thread(2009-present). You'll have to elaborate on the intake. If you meant "carbuerated", sure, it'll work. If you meant the car injected manifold, I'm not sure. With the forward facing TB, it probably will interfere with the accessories.
