vertical radiator and a/c

Now that there have been a few of you out there who have done this. I'm curious to see if there has been any issues with cooling/overheating. Even if you don't have the a/c anymore I'm still interested to hear your results. I'm in the process of doing a twin setup that is going to require the radiator to be moved so I'm all ears on what to do and what not to do. Is there a particular fan combination that works best? What is a good affordable radiator that will work with the stock additions like sensors ect. How many have moved the stock radiator w/ a/c and been successful. As always I appreciate your time and input guys. Thanks Chris

^^^ Did you use a Griffin radiator that was specific for an f-body or was it just a certain size? Do you have room for a bigger turbo up front?

Keeping the cooling good could be controlled in many ways. The radiator not being big enough, fans aren't efficient pull/pushers, turbo might be a little too close to radiator could all be a cause as to why you would run hot
