Banks Intercooler installation

Has anyone installed one of these in a '89 or '90 with air conditioning? My stock grill almost kisses the fins on my A/C condensor radiator, there doesn't seem to be enough room for an intercooler to mount in front of it. I ordered the chrome tube grill from Banks, when I pulled it out of the box, one of the tubes pulled loose. Whoever did the welding on these, didn't use enough heat on all of the welds. I hope the same welder didn't build the intercooler too, or I'm in trouble! Anyway, I sent the grill back to Banks last Monday, haven't heard anything back from them yet. I'm thinking I may have to install the '91 - '93 model grill (like jsimpson) in order to have it all fit behind the grill without having to space it forward like a Powerstroke.
