Default Those with A/C, intercooler mounting problem

I'm pretty sure it goes to the A/C. Right in front of the radiator there's this hose (stiff = high presure?) that goes accross. I dont think I'll be able to mount the IC w/that there. What should i do?

Does this look familiar? Which line are you talking about and what intercooler are you using?

That's it, not the power steering line that loops around, but the one that goes accross, dips down, then goes back up right around the middle of the picture. From end tank to end tank, my intercooler is: 23.5"x8"x3.5" Is that line going to be in the way?

fluid cooler? Are you talking about the PS cooler rack? The PS lines are not stopping him from mounting the intercooler. It's the line in front of the PS cooler, which is a A/C line. He has to bend that behind the PS lines

I just bent that line enough to clear.

Behold my incredibly super tight fan setup.

Nice. I'm going to need some pusher fans to accomodate my sidewinder manifold and I think those will fit the bill. What size are those? Got any links to where I can get them cheap?

Oh its back on

Just removed the bumper support for the fan install. The fan body had to be extensively cut to make it fit around the big unmoveable block of aluminum on the passenger side of the condensor.

However the PS cooler support had to be drilled out and removed.


<u>Some more pics</u>




These fans are 12", and they push 1500 CFM each. I bought them from Viren @ $55ea shipped!
You like how I fit 24" of fan into 22" of space? I like!
