Default A/C System Schematic - Anyone?

Does anyone have an online version of the C5 service manual that can email me or post the A/C schematics from the car? I contacted the guys at kincaid about building a "killer chiller" for the C5/C6 platform as PD style blowers are becoming increasingly popular with the whipple kit and eforce kits that were released, not to mention the horrible heat soak they have when installed on a C5/C6. Anyways they need a schematic for the A/C system, anyone have one?

I'm confused. What does the A/C system have to do with supercharger performance? ....and by the way...don't buy into the "heat soak" BS. I know plenty of guys, with maggies, that run consistently in the 10's.

agreed. if anything, running the ac compressor is going to increase your 1/4 mi times. it takes around 5hp to run a conventional automotive ac compressor.

edit: forgot the ac compressor disengages at WOT. doh!
