I live in NC too... and I'm in the process of trying to fix the AC in my daily driver, an '87 Volvo.

Anyway, I've found that in my '92 Honda Accord, the AC condenser fan, hard AC lines, and other important AC stuff are all right up next to the radiator. Check to see if your condenser fan starts when the AC is turned on. If not, then see if the connector was not plugged back in when the fan was put back on the new radiator.

check to see if the compressor is plugged in they might have disconnected it and forgot to plug it back in..

Also make shure he didnt poke a holes in the condensor or something like that to have caused a small leak.
