I was wondering if anybody has done a vertical or vertical-ish radiator to clear more room in front of the engine, while still keeping the/an AC condenser.
I am kicking around the idea of doing a turbo setup that'd be too big to keep the radiator in the stock location, but want to keep my air conditioner.
Thoughts?

Looks good! Couple questions - when you cut the upper radiator support, the condenser could stand up on its own unmodified?
I see braided lines on the driver's side - what are those for?
The passenger side are to/from the condenser?
What radiator did you use?
Thanks!

MMmm...yes, I've seen that radiator pic somewhere before. Care to disclose the dimensions/model/cost?
I assume you had enough room for puller fans with the radiator vertical? What fans did you go with.
