Default AC radiator/condensor area

I have the front of my 89 taken apaart down to behind the bumper bar. I removed the AC stuff up there, as I will be going "kuel" when I put everything back together. Probably.

The AC condensor up there is quite large. It almost covers the WHOLE radiator. Could I reduce its size by 40% or so (where could I get one that size?) without too much of a reduction in cooling power? has anyone tried this? What about relocation?

I'm just thinking about the fact that when I supercharge, I will either need to move it anyway, orget one half the size, as I will wish to add an oil cooler for the engine oil, as well as a water rad for the air to water cooler for the intercooler.

Condensor's are sized for the system. Once you start to reengineer the system, you should reengineer the evap coil, compressor, and expansion device.

I know the condensor in our shark is a little oversized. The condensor should be sized to reject at least 125% of the heat absorbed by the evaporator. So size should matter in this instance.
