I pulled out my radiator a min. ago and was laying up the Trust 3 row IC to see kinda how I am gonna get it mounted. I see that I am at the very least going to have to move the A/C condensor. Can this be put in another location and still be usefull?

I am about 2 seconds away from just saying "**** the a/c"

But i live in Maryland and in the summer it gets unbearably humid. So If I can keep the a/c that would be a bonus. Any sugestions.. Pics would be extremely helpful..

Also in the case that I do scrap the ac. Do I need to cap off the hard lines at the firewall for any reason?

I would cap off the lines going to the evaporator, just in case you ever want to use it again, you don't want it contaminated. I suppose you could move the condenser, but you would need to put a fan on it. Regadless of where you moved it, if it doesn't get much fresh air, it's not going to cool very well.

Dave, if you take the condenser and face it towards the ground, you'll be able to clear the greddy fmic just fine. I'll get pics tonight(I'm going over to the shop to do some work on my car and Igy's car is there.)

yah, thats what most kits have you do, lay the condenser down flat.

Fd3BOOST 11-15-2002 04:45 PM

Down flat huh? Ok sounds like that would work. Yea hook me up with some pics. Thanks a ton guys.



What about the hard lines? Will they bend enough or do I need to fab. something?

jspecracer7 11-15-2002 06:58 PM

They should bend enough. I can't get pics though...Igy's car hasn't had AC for awhile....I forgot https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

But it's not the heat, it's the east coast HUMIDITY.
