Hi Bret -
I am a bit concerned about the compressor's heat
exchanger unit, which I assume I will have to place in
front of the radiator. Is there a way to do this
without reducing the amount of colling the engine
gets? I assume I'd have to remove the radiator air
dam (located in front of the radiator)... I'm worried
about installing an airconditioning system at the
expense of the car's ability to cool itself.
What is your experience with this?
Thanks,
Alan
