Maybe by someone that isn't paying attention, It isn't CARB, I have read where a lot of members have had to remove it to pass.

While your installing it, I would suggest using an air compressor to blow out your condenser and radiator. That will help cooling the engine and A/C. Due a search and there is a lot of different ways you can do it. Enjoy your new mod!
