I just finished yankin' all my A/C stuff off, and when the radiator went back in without the condenser, it is not held in tight enough. Anyone ever run into this prob? Solutions? I've got a Be Cool aluminum radiator. THanks...

I had to modify the bottom on the tray and also drilled new holes on the radiator schroud to shift the radiator forward. This causes the radiator to sit at an upright position instead of an angle. The problem with this is that you had to hammer on the inside liner of your hood because the radiatar cap will hit.

Part of it seems to me like that radiator shroud is so flimsy that it just won't keep enough force holding it down...It flexes too much.

Mines not too bad, though I have the stock uint still. I think i will put some more support in when i install the trans cooler, just to be safe.

Mine was the same way after I deleted the AC. I left it the way it was and its been fine so far.

I just drilled holes in the top shroud about 1" from existing holes and it is solid.Ledt the bottom untouched.

How was this handled on 1LE AC-deleted cars? Maybe there's some factory spacers/mounts available in the parts catalog?

I just have the stock radiator but did not run into any problems with the radiator being loose.
