Finally done and $500 later, she is done. Mods to rad had to be tapped for AST, battery tray, notch out fan house and the cylinder for AC had to be removed due to additional size of rad.

Not seen the radiator, but I've never heard of anyone having to remove any AC component with ANY aftermarket radiator install.

yep, garage just down from my house. It's only off 1 to 2 inch. the A/C cylinder hits the fan housing and does not allow hood close. just off abit. Don't know if the A/C worked and the cylinder need to be recharged.

It's illegal and unsafe to remove them, that being said it drops a ton of weight off your car
