It's not. The AC is being held in place by the 3 bolts that the filter mounts to. I couldn't see any reason why this wouldn't work.

I thought that's the way you mounted it. I have the same backing plate with a thicker zippers filter and just the round cover over it, I would be worried about the weight of the AC on the throttle body with no support, there is a lot of vibration going on.

REALLY, really need to put the throttle body bracket back on before the intake seals break loose and you're stuck on the side of the road with huge intake leaks...

Will do. There's no way I can use the Bluegrass kit and the bracket. I'm going to put the stock banjo bolts and fittings back on and run lines from each to a catch can.

Looking at the instructions online there are a bunch of ways to mount it.
Either the throttle bracket goes behind the blue grass kit, or the throttle bracket goes in front of the blue grass kit. The banjo then goes through both of them either way.
Something like that.
