Default ITB's and AC Compressor, space conflict?

I'm planning future mods for my '87 Carrera 3.2... One performance option after engine rebuild (pistons, cylinders, rods, cams, valves, etc, etc) is individual throttle bodies (ITB). Looking at the original intake manifold, the pipe for the rear right cylinder has a different shape to give space for the AC compressor. Will it be possible to combine ITB's and AC?

Its going to depend on whose ITB's you use,....

If you need A/C, I'd be using the PMO ones.

I'd prefer to use a Denso on a 3.2, however if you don't have clearance this will give you an idea from a project we did on 73T years ago using a Kuehl 507 compressor; engine had Webber's with short stacks
