I assume you are going to stand your radiator up straight. If so I would not cut corners on the fan radiator it's several ways you can do it I just chose to get one made. Pm me your email and I will send u pictures

is radiator staying in the slant position or are you cutting the top support? call griffin up and have one spec'd. I will tell you now, I would not get a cheap one built out of small tubes etc...especially running a/c. I would make sure it will cool good
