Ls3 air con setups

Just curious as to what people have done to get their air con to work. I live in australia so air con is pretty much a necessity so before I go ahead with a swap im wondering what people have done

The line going from the condenser to the expansion valve along the driver's side can stay the same, it still fits with the swap. The lines going to the compressor from the expansion valve and condenser need to be custom made.

I had them made by a local custom fabricator for just less than $600 USD.

Note that you also need an ECU solution that supports A/C.

(I have an LS2, but the A/C setup is the same for an LS3. Compressor is on the same side.)
