A few months ago, we swapped an LY6 with 6l90 transmission in to a 1999 Dakota RT.



With the intention of putting a turbo, and needing space for the intercooler, we decided to try to remote mount the AC condenser.

We contacted Classic Auto Air in Tampa, and purchased a 16X18 parallel flow condenser. This decreased the size significantly when compared to the old tube and fin design.



and made room up front

.

The location we chose was under the bed, just forward of the passenger side rear wheel.



The condenser was modified by Mark at Classic Auto Air, locating the connections in a convenient spot.



and the condenser is mounted.



A Derale 12 inch fan was located after modifying the shroud





And custom lines were fabricated by Classic Auto Air



Thanks to Mark, Ron and Curtis. AC blows 43 degrees on 90+ degree day.

That's really cool. I am thinking of doing something similar on one of my cars. Where is the condenser air intake?

This is a cool build, I thought when I swapped my 318 out for a 360 was a big deal. Good luck w your build. Look fwd to seeing the completed product

Air enters behind the rear wheel. The fender well in the bed is hollow, and sealed, so it acts as an intake duct and also keeps debris out.

The build is on here somewhere. Its been done for a few months. I have never been able to find it again. You can google LSDAK or LS dakota swap. I have a few threads out there.
