Re <VV> A/C Condensers & Fans (long)

[Bill Hubbell]

Because that has already been done, and because there really is no
completely satisfactory location for the condenser other than the engine
compartment (always compromises).  It would be interesting to see if a
method could be designed to keep the '66 style condenser where it is and
still keep cool air coming to the engine.
