B16 with A/C and I need help!
91 hatch with a B16a, hasport mounts and hasport A/C bracket.
The problem I am having is I dont have any room to mount the condensor fan.
No condensor fan = no A/C.
There is about 2 inches between the radiator and the front of the exhaust manifold, so that is leaving very few to no options for putting a fan in there.
Anyone have this problem? Any suggestions?
Please no "remove the A/C posts", I have a 1 year old and he can't take the heat like I can.
TIA

you have to remove the bumper and place the fan in front of the condenser and rewire it so the the fan is actually pushing , instead of pulling..... lots of work but surely worth the trouble .....

This is what I was thinking. I just wasn't sure how to mount it in front of the condenser because one of the AC hard lines runs there.

Re: (Deetz)
thanks.. I'm going to install my header and see if that frees up anymore room.
