<VV> A/C condensor location?

[Joel McGregor]

My '65 has exactly that and I haven't managed to get it working yet.  It seems to work fine sitting still but drive it about 10 minutes or less and it quits working.  This isn't very helpful because I haven't put any time into it to figure out what is going on.  Mine has 2 stacked horizontal condensers with two ducted 9" fans pushing air straight down.
My current wild guess is that the engine fan is stalling the air through the condensers and causing the compressor to cut out on high pressure.
I've thought about building a partition and making the condenser fans pull air from the wheel well.

With all the talk about spares in the trunk and condensers here and there,
has anyone thought about a condensor into the space normally taken up by
the spare in the engine compartment? With a couple of 9 inch fans, a long
rectangular condensor would fit horizontally, could blow air thru the fins
and down into the aft wheel well After cutting out the tin there, and
adding a deflector.
Any yes's or nay's welcome, but be specific as to why or why not. Yes, I am
contemplating a/c for my 62 coupe, but do not want to stress the engine
with an over the engine install and do not want to take up trunk space,
either!
