A/C won't work as well... But that will help some I'm sure.

Chris Reagan has the same thing done to his car...or at least he did.



Definitely can't hurt the cooling system.

He moved the AC condensor and lowered the radiator a bit.

Wait, my bad. After looking again he seemed to of lowered the AC condensor some to make an opening for more air to get to the rad core.



Not a bad idea..

A/C is not lost, it just get moved. Has to allow more airflow to the radiator, therefore better cooling. This is a poormans mod, only 15-20 in brackets.
