[DeTomaso] front condensor question

[Boyd Casey]

If both radiator fans run and AC switch is limited to controlling the
compressor won't that work? Sometimes my car needs both sucker fans to
maintain correct engine operating temp. If the one fan is controlled by the
compressor switch wouldn't that limit sufficent radiator cooling to times
when AC was also turned on?

   When one moves the condenser from the rear to the front of the Pantera
   do you place it in front of the radiator? Do you use only the sucker
   fans for the radiator to cool the radiator and the condenser? I know
   this has been discussed but I didn't remember the facts.
   Thanks,
   Boyd
