>>>The air that comes out of the condensor is quite hot, so you're now 
blowing hot air, instead of ambient air, into the front of your radiator.   
There is a theoretical downside, although from a practical perspective, 
everybody I know who has one of these setups reports zero cooling system efficiency 
loss, but great A/C gains...
