Default A&A kit up date

I planned on two weeks and it is working out well!
S/c is mounted, belt on and soon I be getting to the final steps. It's a job to take your time, anything gives me much trouble I stop and come back later. Rather to work with any flustrations . Then It goes quickly. Lots of little steps, I'm looking at the routing of hoses and wiring to keep everything thing from rubbing or pinching. Figured out a few better ways to do things. During the install. I'm sure Andy could do it in a day,
But if it's your first time to install one, plan on taking your sweet time. The 575 plus (dyno and tune on the 11th) to the wheels is going to be nice.
