I was hoping to mount the fans on top of the condenser (I have a whaletail) to maintain a reasonably stock appearance but that doesn't look possible at all.
I'll check the clearance on the RHS and see if I could run one larger, low profile fan only underneath.
Thanks

78-88 A/C upgrading... THE place to start.... Zims condenser/fan kit that mounts in the front of the left rear fender well, somewhat out of the radiant heat emanating from the HOT engine/exhaust and the even HOTTER catalyst

For my next car - assuming there is another GFC on its way and they become affordable again - I agree a Zim's kit and delete the original front condenser and hose setup all together would be the way to go.
Thanks for posting the Zim's link as I had not seen these before.
Thanks

Yes thanks, I did read it. That guy has removed the air duct to the rear blower fan to make room for the LHS electric fan.

WWESTED: The air duct was removed, and the blower modified, to increase airflow (~180 CFM) through the rear lid condenser. Long term plan is to use a 130dF thermostatic switch taped/insulated to the rear lid condenser inlet connections to power the blower and fans only as needed.

'78 Targa, now history, had 2 spal pusher fans mounted under the whale tail. Fresno buyer happy with A/C performance.

Would you put the temp sensor on the deck lid condenser inlet or outlet?
Thanks,
