Default A/C in my EF with b16 swap (help)

i have a b16 swap in my 89 si, we managed to mount the a/c compressor and line it
up with the belt so it runs fine when switched on, however, we were only able to fit in one radiator fan instead of two in the car b/c the A/C line were in the way and we could not squeeze the fan by them, so i can only safely run the a/c when the car is movig, if i run the a/c whe the car is not moving, i might heat up. Has any one put a/c in one of these cars, if not, what is the slimmest slim fan out there that i can use?

When I had my stock radiator it worked with the fans attached using the ac bracket from Hasport. It was a tight fit but never had a problem.

That radiator finally broke so now I've got a eg and no issues with this one too and that's using the single fan set up.

Install a pusher fan if you can not find a thin enough "puller".

If you do a web search on Spal fans, you can find a web site that gives all the dimensions, so you can figure out what will fit.

Here is a write-up on what I did. <U>Keep in mind that it seems I had just about every "space / clearance" problem possible!!</U>
