(this is information also posted in S2's build log)
Concerning blower motors or any 'high-at-the-front' intake manifolds for that matter. I am noticing that my lower passenger side mount AC position may be a problem. The 'final' engine installation was done with the body off the car, unfortunately there was recent cause to remove the engine. When doing so, the top of the blower hit the bottom of the tail of the roof scoop before the AC pump cleared the passenger side chassis engine standoff. This necessitated the removal of the AC pump before the engine could be extracted.
All this may be a moot point for the later cars with the bolt in engine mount cross
member, but for the rest of us, something to think about
