Default AC 4th Gen condenser Placement

Just trying to see what others experiences are with condenser Placement and a stand up radiator in a 4th Gen.
01 trans am 408 Huron t6 kit to retain AC

Looks like I have 3 options


1. Most tucked up and clean looking to me. But I see issue with the condenser impeding airflow and heat transfer

2. Still pretty clean fitting. And still have room on both sides for fan placement either way.

3. Most air gap for the intercooler but just seems like a strange placement.

1. Is mount it in the inside of the Huron intercooler bracket basically against the intercooler. With a good puller fan to pull through both.

2. Mount it on the outside of the bracket to give the intercooler some air space.

3. Mount it as far forward towards the radiator that's possible and mount a pusher fan.

The pics are so close, having trouble visualizing what you have there.

In general, the heat exchangers should be packaged tight together and the gaps sealed around them for best performance.

You want the air to go through the cores, and not be drawn through the gaps around them which short circuits the cores.
