<VV> A/C Condensers & Fans

[JVHRoberts@aol.com]

Well, there is an issue here. A Corvair cooling fan doesn't move anywhere 
near the same amount of air as a waterpumper fan. Furthermore, at idle, things 
really get poor. The tradeoff is a Corvair cooling fan develops a LOT more 
pressure, but at the end of the day, air flow is what counts for a condensor. And 
things are a bit marginal, IMHO...

I guess I don't quite understand what's going on here. I've had my '67 
A/C Monza for twenty years. I've never had a problem with the A/C that 
helper fans would have solved. Why, when you have all the inlet air for 
the engine flowing through the condenser, do you need any more fans?
