Well over winter I decided that the car is going to be more of a track car.. So I went vertical radiator and now I deleted every aspect of the AC... Just great to work on now....

I am guessing at first this was just going to be your daily driver?
Then you was like, I think I need to throw an exhaust on it at least.
Next thing you know its now a track only car
Raidator looks good, I want to delete my AC "box" also. The ac is already gone. I should of done that when I had my engine out I think. Whats next for your car?

Pretty much sums it up... I think next mod will be C5 brakes... Then just wait for the rear or tranny to bomb.... Not much else I can get rid of....

What are the advantages of going to a vertical radiator? Did you use a stock radiator?

Mostly room... I have plans of doing a T-76 when this motor dies... I have to see how well it will do in 105 degrees... I used a Griffin rad if you want I can find the number... People have used the stcoker but it's a PITA....

Might be a stupid question but do you still have a heater or did it come out with th A/C ?
I thought about pulling the A/C off of mine since I've already take in the compressor out but I don't want to lose the defogger up in the mountains we have to use the defrogger quite abit on summer nights

As of now NO... I will build a small sheat metal box and use some conversional heater tube to fix it (only defrost).. As it's setup the heater fan blows outside of fire wall toward the radiator, it's now a header cooler lol...

The square cutout second pic is factory blower out location you can see the blower blades...Kind of hard to see but if you look at it for a second you can see what needs to be done.

That's some nice room.

I did mine while the motor was out as well.
Here are a few pics while doing it( The mods to the blower assembly )





Here is the final piece. I am still able to retain the defrost.

NICE WORK! Looks factory... I will be doing somthing close, if the motor was out this would have been way easier and cleaner... At this point I think I could pull my entire K member out in 45min...

i built my car to go fast and have a/c cause i like to be cold

Fantastic...I own Lexus to be cold in, Denver requires ac for 15 to 17 days a year anyway....

Mine is actually all done thru the inside of the car. Once the section that sticks into the engine compartment is removed, I made the plate and stuck it in from the inside. I ran a bead of silicone before I tightened all the bolts. If you are interested, I may have the pattern for the back plate and the dimensions for the pop out that allows the blower to pass the air over to the other side. I know I saved them ....somewhere
