at the moment, the aircon radiator goes right across thr front. is it possible to get a smaller radiator made up, or off a another car, so that it doesnt take up so much space, |

yeah, not soming you can bodge your self, although if found a rad and mounted you could just get the pipes made, just wondered if it was possible, as i would have thought the radiator would be that size for a reason, for how much the pump goes on that vehicle and how much gas a particular vehicle uses. but i dont know. any one know any specialists in aircon specialists? |

if you want to keep air con in your car i wouldnt start messing with the size of the a/c rad. if you want the space for other things you will have to remove the a/c completly. |

I agree with cyman its easier to remove completely than messing about with a smaller rad, but get it discharged properly as it is against the law and a health a safety issue letting either R12 or R134A into the air

yeah, i have been thinking about removing it, but, even though we only get a few hot days, its nice to have, and if i was to remove it, i would be the kind of person that would take everything out, that means the condensor in the dash as well, and i cant be assed. lol any way was just an idea i tought about, just didnt know the answer. lol |

these guys are right,the ac system will be designed to use a certain size condense coil(ac rad).changing this size will make the system not work efficiently. |
