My '95 had the same clearance problem with the A/C plumbing.

Update: 3 Hours on a '92 - '94, about 4 on a '95 - '97.

Last thought: The phenolic spacers mod only made a slight but noticable difference until I installed the Throttle Body bypass (included in kit). Now the engine has consistant power and doesn't seem to suffer from the heat soak problem. Time will tell though as the temperature here in Tucson is still on the rise. We will hit 90 today and my car doesn't really start to suffer until the ambient is around the 100 mark. Hopefully the spacers and bypass will help out this summer.
