Default KB/Trick log setup oil drain that clears ac

Is it possible with a Trick or KB log manifold and A/C to have a good oil drain? I was reading the ICT billet front covers don’t clear the AC bracket or compressor. I’m looking for ideas since I have the motor out and can pull the pan or front cover off to drill and tap it.

Some guys drill and tap the front of the pan for a drain. Seems to work decently just change the oil afterwards

I have a drain in the side of the pan near the level sensor (above it!) and the front of the oil pan. Both work fine

on my KB kit i have the oil drain right behind the AC Compressor. Its about 1" from it on a flat spot right by the oil pan top flange. Worked great for years.

I "believe" I located this to clear the back side of the A/C compressor but have since removed the compressor as I guess I'm going more race truck or something like that. Would be very close to where RDF1 stated.

With having the motor out, mount your A/C compressor and you'll an idea what you have for room between it and the motor mount.

That is correct. Mine is in the exact location and i used some 22.5" fittings to clear everything.
