Re: Electric Fan Issues - space?

Now my question is, has anyone else done this and where did you then mount your condesor for air condition? I know this might be easy for some but I am perplexed. Anyone have pics of their set up would help.
I don't think a pusher between the radiator and condenser will provide enough air flow for the AC, putting it in front of the condenser will reduce air flow across the radiator. Keep in mind that pusher fans are less efficient than pullers, which only complicates things further. I run a high cfm Spal pusher on my '58 without AC because there's not enough room between the water pump pulley and radiator.

Something like this is one alternative.
