        Put the wood on it so it would not bend in the wrong place.

            Probably take me another day to gather up all the bolts and stuff to get it installed.

                Is that the only fan for the engine/AC ? No shroud ?

                If so, do you think it move enough air to be effective?

                  No, this is a pusher just to cool the condenser in traffic. I have a clutched fan and a nice shroud.

                    Excellent !
                    Shrouds are integral to good cooling performance for sure!

                    At work in the hot cell, we have proven many times how effective an electric fan is in traffic. Makes a HUGE difference at low speeds / stopped.

                    Also, it takes 15 to 20 hp to run a mechanical fan... That's why our production Jeeps all run electric these days. On demand as needed and saves power - ie fuel econ.

                        Was able to finish up all the lines today and pull a vacuum on the system. Looks like it's holding.

                          Working on running the heater hoses. The hose with the yellow tape is the one I'am trying to figure out.

                            I ran the ac duct work just to see if I would still have A glove box. Nope not going to happen.

                              maybe a really shallow glove box,...approx 1 inch deep, to hold a pair of gloves.

                              man your engine bay is superb !

                              that a/c will be nice.

                                I could probably glue a pencil case to the glove box door and shove my paper work in that.
