Default Electrical Question - Cooling/Radiator Fans

On a 1994 Integra GSR:
Can I simply connect the black/blue wire on my condensor fan to the Black/Red wire on the radiator fan in order to have them both turn on at the same time?

Reason I ask: Condensor fan does not turn on after I removed my AC components.

For reference: My Compressor is the only thing from the AC system thats still present. The harness with the condensor fan relays is also present but only connected to the condensor fan . All other connectors from the plug are taped in a bundle and off to the side.

ALL help is appreciated.

if you no longer have AC, you can remove the second fan as it doesnt do anything.

The thing is I want it to do something....I want the condensor fan to turn on with the radiator fan to provide additional cooling to the headers and neighboring parts.

ok, now if i wanted to do that, would I still need to jump the wires as I stated in the beginning, or what?

What amp switch will I need to use and Gauge wire is recommended?

If you want them to both run yes. The A/C fan is not needed and is just overkill. If you are not caring for A/C and pulled it for weight then pull the condensor and second fan. This will lighten you up and let extra air flow direct straight through the radiator. One fan is all you need, Honda only adds the second one for A/C to prevent overheating and help cool the condensor.

adrenaline-racing: THANK YOU! Finally! I removed everything except for the compressor only. My car is probably suffering from a worn headgasket and I just thought running a fan near the headers would help cool it down a bit.
