Bobby, I wish I had some info for you, but have never seen one of these, and it looks like that is the case with the others too. I don't put air in my cars, so they are foreign to me, but I think some guys mount a remote condenser in the rear so that there is none in front of the radiator in like a Model A.
I would contact one of the aftermarket ac companies (what are the names, Vintage Air? and some others) and ask them what they feel. Usually, although they have a prejudice toward their products, they will still give you a pretty straight answer on other products. Not always, but mostly.

John If i was selling a product mine would be the best . True a condenser by its self has been the history but i would like to see a car with the combo unit and see it in function .
Don this combo unit is allmost as much as a complete unit from Vintage and alike . Also some cars dont even have a top right . LOL thats some modern air .
The combo is the same size as a rad for a 31 . To me this would split them 50-50 and something has to give . I dont want the engine running warm or the A/C . I know the idea would be great if they functioned like 2 seperate units . The exhaust will take up so much room i dont think i could mount one under body by frame . Then the calculation for additional freon would have to be done for a correct operating A/C .Last edited by bluestang67; 04-21-2007 at 10:33 PM.

33 i would say basically as long as they dont rub thats about the standard . I would say 1/2 inch maybe 3/4 at the most and brackets would give that dimension
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
