| Not driven it yet so not sure what the front end will feel like.
No Mark i ditched the aircon as the pipes/compressor were shot and i really wouldn't have used it anyway....still got all the connections so might put it back at some point.
Ditched the V6 rad and secondary cooling as well....opted for a 2L rad and i've hooked up the aircon fan to the main fan.
Can have it on with main fan, independantly or for a set time after engine is switched off.  | |

| was interested in the clearance for the Rad with air con.
We've got a cheap V6 Vec, and a MK3 Astra CDX Estate.
I had to move the rad forward on the MK2 to get the V6 in, and with the MK3 the condenser is already in front of the rad.
It is probably possible to move both forward, as I've since fitted MK3 Air Con to the MK2. | |

2L astra rad with v6 fan and aircon fan is tight now....less than a few inches to front downpipe...had to remove the heat shield as it fouled the fan blades | |

It has to be de-gassed properly.
