You would need to cut a large hole in the firewall (to run a hose out), cause the blower is on the inside of the car, along with some other things to figure out (can't have air blasting into intake full-bore all the time). IMO, I would try thinkin of some other way to mod your car.

Yeah, good idea in theory, but even if you did get it working, and if it did add any power, it would just replace the power that the a/c takes away from the engine anyway.
