Classic told me the same thing - bend the tubes to make it fit. Fortunately for me I put mine in a factory AC car, so I was able to tweak the adapter plate I used to switch from the big AC blower hole to the smaller non-AC hole. At that point I had already had to fabricate so many solutions to fix their design errors, I had pretty well given up asking them to fix things themselves.
New topic: I'm half way through a 5000 mile road trip and in really hot conditions. I chose the option of using the factory AC pulleys and alternator bracket. The brackets from Classic are made by Bouchillon and they don't line up the twin AC compressor pulleys with the factory double belt alternator pulleys and crank pulley so you can only use one belt. Buchillon swore up and down that the compressor only needed one belt.. BULL$&!)!!! The damned belt slips everytime the compressor clutch engages and some times just keeps slipping. So here I am with no dependable AC at 96 degrees. I would recommend that you re-engineer the set up form the get go for your peace of mind. The problem with a car with AC and Power steering is that one belt runs AC and Alternator and another runs Water pump and power steering. The second belt is in front of the AC/Alt. belt. Since the Compressor can't be moved back to allign the double pulleys, you have to move the alternator and the crank pulley toward the radiator to get allignment. Spacer behind the crank pulley and re- engineering the alternator brackets (not too bad). But then you have moved the outer belt into the way of the water pump/PS set up and moved the crank pulley for that belt forward. That means a shallower water pump pulley (which Chrysler made) that is the correct diameter and re-engineering the whole Power steering bracket set up. I will do all this and make it right, but not in the middle of this road trip... Am I pissed after shelling out all that money and doing all that work??? YOU BET!!!
