Don, about the remote a/c condenser

Like a couple of other posts said, the A/C condenser needs air flow thru it. Think about how much better the a/c works on the highway as opposed to sitting at a stop light.....the airflow on the condenser is much better at speed. Given that, laying a condenser horizontal provides marginal ariflow.....none at stopped. Therefore, you gotta have a fan to move a lot of air over the heatsink. That's why the engine fan is used. An auxillary fan with proper ducting might work but would be rather large. It sucks on a Model A because you cant put a condenser in front of that nice looking radiator. Putting the condenser behind the radiator is not very efficient since you are looking for maximum temperature drop.....you want to dump a bunch of heat.

You might rig up an automotive electric fan over a condenser with the proper duct...remember that electric fans need to be mounted in the coolest air side of the heatsink (pusher or puller) if you are not using the ram air effect of speed.
