PurEvl is that the stock Rad as well as the condensor? That is exaclty what I want to do and like Dragframe stated, use some metal straps to pull it forward. Any other advice?

Good to hear, I may go ahead and try to do this in the next few weeks. I have plenty of metal to mess around with. I thought about trying to angle the condensor and A/C more straight up instead of the factory style angle they set at originally. Any thoughts on this?

One thing though is that Kyle had to use a shorter radiator and you did not.
That leads me to believe that you must have done something with the lower support to make that work, but I cant tell in your pic.
Either that or you angled it more to make it work
In which case it would be too far forward of the factory air scoop for it to do its job of channeling air into the condensor/radiator...

Could you provide some more pics please?

Oh, and how did you get the lines to the condensor to work out?

So it looks like you completely cut the lower support out and fabbed up your own... That last pic looks very clean... When I get back to working on my car, I might attempt something similar.

What kind of issues did you run into with the lines going to the A/C condensor? Since its been moved so much...

Thanks in advance
