ATI Cooling Improvement (Pics)
ATI Cooling Improvement (Pics) I did the dlandsvZ28 mod. If you have to run the ATI shroud for clearance reasons, this is one way to improve things (before & after pics):

What's the P/N# for the fan you used and where did you get it ? (PM me if it's not a site sponsor...)
I've been thinking about doing this for a while, and with hot summer days coming up again soon...
I already swapped to a SLP (LT1) radiator and removed the A/C stuff so it should run cooler, but I bet that 9" fan helps a lot with that "dead" side of the radiator the ATI shroud blocks.
No fitment issues with the blower/inlet hat, right ?

This is what I've done...uses some of the best fans available...should keep my temps down just fine along with the SLP (LT1) radiator...

[QUOTE=Cyborg]Yes. Before I really couldn't use the a/c. The big improvement I saw is now I'm able to run my a/c w/out overheating, unless it's stop & go traffic on a real hot day. QUOTE]
Would it be worth it if i don't have a/c?

[QUOTE=Scary Guy] If you are running warmer than you want to be, and if you've already put in a 160 stat and adjusted when your fan comes on, then I would say it is definitely worth it. The fan is $80 or so and a metal shop cut my shroud for $35 so it's pretty cheap insurance if your running warm now, drive in hot climates, or in traffic.

Isn't there a set of dual 11" Spal pushers that fit on the front of the radiator? Might be a different brand but I remember that there is a set that fits perfectly in front with little to no modification.
