So, do-able? I'm having a hard time working out the radiator/condensor setup in my swap project, and this is all I need before dropping in the motor and getting going.



If I have a radiator mounted securely, is there a way to safely mount an a/c condensor to it? I could bolt it through the fins, or by using strips of metal bolted to the top and bottom of the rad, I just don't know if either is a good idea.

What do you mean by this exactly, like puncturing the tanks or whatever?
