<VV> Cooling Question

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

Not sure why those fans would help, given that all the air still has to 
go through the engine. Personally, I think mounting the condenser in 
the front with its own fans gets the heat away from an already 
marginally cooled engine.
Obviously a remote oil cooler with a thermostat would do wonders for 
oil temps!

Hi everyone.  I have a question that has been bothering me for some 
time.  I've
noticed in some photos of Corvairs with A/C, that the owners installed 
a couple
of auxillary fans in front of the 1966-67 style condenser.

It would seem to me that this is a great way to ensure that the A/C 
system works
at its peak efficiency, and even more importantly, helps prevent the 
engine from
overheating in hot summer weather when you're stuck in traffic.

I've de-flashed my heads and done everything I can to seal my engine
compartment, but I'm always looking for ways to keep the oil temp below 
260
degrees in summer.

Anyone have experience with this?  Any suggestions?

Thanks!...Bill Hershkowitz 69 Monza Coupe 110 PG A/C
