Re: Vintage air questio.
I went with a two row BeCool Aluminum radiator and dual electric puller fan/shroud unit. No mechanical fan. I also added an auxiliary electric pusher fan on the front of the condenser that I kick in when I'm towing up a grade with A/C on. My VA A/C works great at any speed with this set-up. The more airflow through the condenser the better. I also run a manual tranny, which eliminates any tranny cooler lines and tranny cooler in the radiator. Auto trannies will add heat to the radiator, which will in turn will reduce the cooling efficiency of the condenser. An auto tranny that is slipping will create even more heat. Just something to consider.
