AC in hatch b swap Question
Hello so I have a b series in my 91 hatchback and I want to put the stock AC back in with the innovative bracket but I read that there is no space and will need to run slim fans, not sure if its true or not so let me know. Anyways I was wondering if I can just run a half radiator with the condensor fan on the actual condensor instead of buying a full radiator with the condensor fan on the radiator like stock.
I have that innovative bracket in mine and yes, fan space is limited in front of the exhaust manifold. The bracket itself fits well enough. I have a full size Skunk2 radiator with a slim aluminum shroud that I blocked the left side fan with an aluminum plate, and there is about 1/2" of clearance between the compressor and the slim aluminum shroud.
I've since given up on the AC for now, but when I first had the swap done I tried running a half radiator and it would get too hot because there was inadequate airflow over the condenser. With the full size radiator and shroud to help with the flow it stayed cool but I have no room to swap in a header.
