Default Koyo / Mishimoto & slim fans fit with AC?

I would prefer the Koyo Radiator with Mishimoto dual slim fans and shroud, but I am not sure if this is going to fit or not.

I have AC and a Kamikaze header.

Can anyone confirm one way or the other about the fitment with AC?

I would prefer the Koyo radiator to the Mishimoto as it is .4" thicker. The larger the better for me because of boost.

It can be done, you just have to be a bit creative.

It's not going to be plug and play.

The radiator will take up more room, but then you can use thin fans.

You can check the measurements of the fans on www.summitracing.com to see the thicknessess.

You may get in a situation where you have to put a pusher on the left side because of the header, and the puller on the right side where there's plenty of room.

You may also have to fab up new radiator mounts to move the radiator back towards the header a bit in order to do this.

You can mount one fan as a puller behind the ac condensor on the left side, then the other one as a puller on the right side behind the radiator.

Then make some thin steel or aluminum sheetmetal shrouds that go between the bumper, radiator support, ac condensor, and radiator, in order to maximize airflow over them all.
