It's pretty good from the factory, but if you just yank the AC I think a bunch of air is going to be spilling around the sides of the radiator. No I havn't,and what you are saying makes perfect sense.I'm gonna look into fixing that.Yep just went out there and a good 1 1/2" veritcle gap on both sides. Hey Mike if you want to know(case you forgot) for your test which fan is on first its the driverside.I saw today as I was waiting to bring the temp up to bleed out air after the heater core delete. I was amazed that only one came on "new to me" not used to this w/ the other cars being both come on. I may look for a 96 fan set-up. Tony

Insert catch phrase here Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,098 Joined: 23-December 03 From: Michigan Member No.: 20	Are the fans in series in our LT1 engines? Can I remove one of them and still have one working fan? I'm in the middle of doing a few things on the car and the engine isn't running so I'm hoping someone knows before I reinstall everything.
