It's definitely beneficial to make it fit vs eliminating it, especially in Arizona.

Make sure you keep your intake air temp sensor in the tube between the intercooler and the intake manifold. You could even put it in the intake manifold, but in the tube just in front of the throttle is very good as well.

You definitely don't want it in the tube between the air filter and the supercharger, or between the supercharger and the intercooler either of those can cause tuning issues.

I forgot to order one of those, I was hoping to get it running without then when I have more time to get it. I pretty much have until this weekend to make it run.

A part of me wasn’t joking about the dryer duct tube.

Soo keep trying to get the supercharger to work or pull it?

I can trailer it to its temp resting spot and try and work on it there for a bit.

If it will be in a temporary resting place then goes to your future permanent place, I vote to get it running now anyway you can so you can just drive it and not worry about trailers twice.
If it's not possible then just stay the course.
I just spent 3 years working on my stash of vehicles and it took me so much more time because I had disabled too many at the same time and had to shuffle disabled vehicles and added a few more non running projects.
I am finally at a point where the vehicles left no running enough to move are against the back wall or in an enclosed trailers for long term storage.
I even scrapped 3 trucks and made trailers from their beds for different uses.
 
You can mount the supercharger up and not hook up the belt or the piping if you have to move. You can still drive it with the supercharger tune in it, it just won't use the boost portion of the fuel and spark tables. You can just clamp an air cleaner right on the throttle body if you need to until you can finish it.
 
I really want to get it running right but time is limited. I would have to unbolt the supercharger completely to run the belt.

Today after work I’ll have a bit of time to look at it. I want to see if I can make it work with this piping I have.
 
Well I didn’t notice it before but the supercharger just doesn’t want to work right. The inlet will be right against the electric fans…

Also the old radiator is going back in…. It’s really short even with the spacer kit they sell.

I’m also running the old tune, wouldn’t think it would stop it from still running but I’ll find my usb sd card reader tomorrow and upload the new one.
