Yes you can still keep A/C. You just need to make sure you get a manifold that will work for an A/C equiped set-up. I personaly would run 8-10 psi with a tune. As long as the engine is in good condition you should not have a problem. If you need any more info feel free to get intouch.

You can easily boost with A/C & Power steering. & about boost, Its not how boost it can handle but more so how much power can it handle. THe stock piston tend to be iffy after 315whp.. ringlandings are the weak point. On a USDM B18C1, with a 57trim t3/t4 10psi usually give around 290-320whp depending on how well tune.
