Typical for Tyler. The finger never points at him.
Didn't we already have this discussion? If you would bother to to take a look beyond your narrow point of view you would see that our page does have the notation regarding factory A/C and oil pans not clearing. It has been there since you brought it up over a year ago. If you had bothered to do any research before embarking on this swap you would have quickly discovered a few things.

1. LSX engine groups were not designed for the early model chassis
2. LSX engine mounts, exhaust manifolds, oil pans, and A/C compressors don't fit back into a majority of factory frames save for the original donor cars these engines were installed into.
3. T56 six speeds don't fit the A body trans tunnel (I bet you'd like to blame me for that too eh?)
4. To make the LSX swap a 100% bolt in you will have to use mostly aftermarket items; this includes oil pans, headers, plates, accessory drives, wiring harnesses/reprogrammed computers, throttle cable conversions for the gas pedal, radiators with electric fans, and fuel tanks.

I'd be happy to buy your mounts and plates back at full retail, no matter the condition. Of the few hundred sets I've sold, you are still the one and only guy who has such an issue with them. I'd love to hear which product you would recommend that meets your requirements. If the cost is the same as my mounts, I'll buy you a set of my competitors mounts and send you on your merry way. How does that sound?

Tyler
