AC condenser relocation

[Gcelevator]

Hey guys, i am back again with questions and ideas.
What would be the general consensus on installing the Red Dot condenser on top of the radiatior in the engine bay area (picture is for reference) of course, i would be installing only the core and the electric fan x2. I do have enough space under the hood as i lifted my Mv body 2" for the turbo conversion. Have any of you done this specifically? I know someone dod the under the fender conversion but for me that would be buying a new condenser when i do have a good one almost new. Good? Bad? What ifs? Or just do it?

The airflow through the cooling stack kind of sucks to begin with, so adding additional restriction isn't a good idea.

Add that to the additional heat from your turbo conversion (I'm assuming you still have the earlier cooling stack and haven't done the snout extension?) is probably a really bad idea.

That condenser unit isn't designed to be stacked with anything else.

You can Find rad stack type condensor units like the H1 uses, or install a fender mounted condenser as ive been doing

Is that the original red dot mount inside?
Can you share part number?

Yes, i might have to go the fender mount route. Just wanted to keep the same condenser and keep the same parts.

In your experience, the unit must be mounted like that tilted bak or can be mounted perpendicular to the floor?

evaporator needs to drain appropriately via the drain holes in the sump

RWH is of course correct. Still, search the OLD posts. People have installed in many novel places.
