[DeTomaso] Moving ac condenser to front of car.

[Forest Goodhart]

Boyd,
I have my condenser in front and no problems due to the location. Do not put it behind the radiator. Install in front of the radiator.
Good luck,
Forest

   As some of you may recall I blew up my engine and was considering
   installing a Coyote engine. As much as I think the Coyote is a great
   engine I have decided to stick with a Cleveland. I have always wanted
   180 degree headers and having just installed a super deluxe new AC stem
   last year the prospect of moving the condenser and hoses to the front
   of the car is the only thing that is standing in m way. When I upgraded
   I installed a very thin parallel flow condenser . I was wondering how
   much air flow restriction mooing the condenser to behind the radiator
   will cause. I have a "True" lay down radiator and sucker fans. Is there
   anything else I should worry about or take into consideration. I went 5
   years with out having working AC and the new set up was blowing cold
   air at 42F so I don't want to go back to the "Sauna".
   Boyd
