Default Anyone have AC with Dynomax headers?

I was wondering if you had pics of your set-up if you do. I have the bracket that Summit recommends for AC, but it seems like I need another one as well.
Thanks in advance.

I was thinking about Dynomax headers. What's the problem?

Did you need a special bracket for the Alt?

Did you go with standard gaskets? Exhaust port shape?

Do you have the long or short compressor. If you have the short compressor all you need us a spacer where the a/c bracket connects to the front header bolt to take up the slack from the missing thinkness of the manifold.

I just took a piece of stainless pipe the same width as the bolt and cut it to the correct thickness.
