I've got a 67 318 Satellite with factory AC. Can I change out the intake manifold to an aftermarket and still support the brackets for AC?
 
I would say yes. However you should inspect the intake you are buying to make sure.
 
Take a look at the Edelbrock performer (Jegs #350-2176) It has the offset thermostat with dual pattern and should have the bosses for all the bolt holes
Here is a photo of one on a LA 318.

It's also got plenty of places to put that heater hose nipple, which could come in handy.

I've also heard that a Weiand action plus can be used with AC.

Performer is more common, though.
 
Find yourself a old LD4B Edelbrock. Great 318 manifold and works with factory air.
