I am upgrading to a more powerfull engine with 180 degree headers (that's
my reason for moving the condenser to the front. I upgraded my ac a few
years ago to a sandeen 7 compressor and a parrellel flow condenser and it
works great!. I am concerned that the condenser may block or restrict flow
to my radiator ( which is an aluminum lay down model and with the extra
cubes an HP it may not get adequate cooling. Are my concerns misplaced?
My car didn't overheat before even in traffic.

   Fans on the back of the radiator. A When they come on the temp drops
   like a stone.

   Works very well. Requires a bigger alternator and quite a bit of wiring
   .
