I've seen a few guys tilt their radiators forward for fan clearance on procharged cars, but can this be done with the A/C condenser still on?

Sweet. Any pics? Can I use the stock A/C lines? I just cut the core support to make room and tilt, then make a hold down of some sort, right?

Why not get a couple of aftermarket 12" fans and put them in front of the conderser and mount them up, that gives you a lot more room.

I'm not 100% on this but I think "pusher" fans mounted in front of the condenser are very inefficient on f-bodys. Stock style fans are definitely what you want for proper cooling. You could try stock style aftermarket fans that are thinner. I know summit has dual fan setups for about $200 that fit out cars.
